Thomas Wardle (1923 – 1992) was a British pacifist who was active in the 1950s in the anti-apartheid, nonviolence and civil rights movements. He was also a leader in early anti-nuclear protests as a member of Operation Gandhi. Wardle worked with Bayard Rustin, A. J. Muste, Henry LeRoy Finch and Michael Scott to promote non-violent protest against racial inequality, with views developed and honed during his time in South Africa in 1952 as an assistant to Manilal Gandhi on the newspaper, Indian Opinion.
