Thomas Henry Knyvett Dashwood (3 January 1876 – 24 January 1929) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of T. A. Dashwood, he was born in January 1876 at St Ippollitts, Hertfordshire. He was educated at Wellington College, where he captained the cricket eleven.[1] From there, he matriculated to University College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, Dashwood made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University Cricket Club against Surrey and Sussex in 1899;[3] against Sussex, he made what would be his only half century, with a score of 70.[4] He also played a third first-class match in 1899, for an England XI against the touring Australians at Truro.[3]

After graduating from Oxford, Dashwood was later chosen to tour the West Indies with Richard Bennett's personal eleven from January–April 1902.[1] On the tour, he made thirteen first-class appearances on the touring, appearing against regional first-class colonial teams such as British Guinea, Jamaica, and Trinidad, in addition to the West Indies cricket team.[3] On the tour, he scored 200 runs at an average of 11.11, with a highest score of 32.[5] Dashwood recorded a century in a non-first-class fixture on the tour, with 120 not out against St Elizabeth Cricket Club in Jamaica.[1] Two years later, he made two final first-class appearances for Hampshire in the 1904 County Championship against Leicestershire and Yorkshire.[3] He also played cricket at minor counties level for Hertfordshire, making sixteen appearances in the Minor Counties Championship between 1898 and 1907.[6]

Dashwood later served in the British Army during the First World War, being commissioned into the Army Service Corps as a temporary second lieutenant in September 1915.[7] He was made a temporary lieutenant in January 1916,[8] with a further temporary appointment to captain following in June 1916.[9] Following the war, he was made a brevet major in June 1919.[10] Dashwood relinquished his commission following the completion of his service, retaining the rank of captain.[11] He died in London at West Kensington on 24 January 1929, from heart failure as a result of influenza.[12]
