Thomas Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 2nd Baron Sudeley (5 February 1801 – 19 February 1863), initially known as Thomas Leigh from 1806 until 1838, and later styled The Honourable Thomas Leigh (1838–1839) followed by The Honourable Thomas Hanbury-Tracy (1839–1858), was a British entrepreneur in the coal sector and a political figure.
He was the offspring of Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 1st Baron Sudeley and Henrietta Susanna Tracy, herself the daughter of Henry Tracy, 8th Viscount Tracy. The Hanbury family's fortune was established through their proprietorship of the Pontypool Ironworks. In 1806, by Royal licence, he adopted the surname Leigh in place of Hanbury-Tracy, reverting back to Hanbury-Tracy in 1839. His political career included serving as the Member of Parliament for Wallingford from 1831 to 1832. In 1852, he received the appointment of deputy lieutenant for Montgomeryshire, and upon his father's passing in 1858, he inherited the titles of Baron Sudeley and Lord Lieutenant of Montgomeryshire, positions he maintained until his death in 1863.
In 1831, Lord Sudeley wed Emma Elizabeth Alicia Pennant, daughter of George Hay Dawkins-Pennant. Their offspring comprised:
- Sudeley Hanbury-Tracy, 3rd Baron Sudeley
- Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 4th Baron Sudeley
- Frederick Stephen Archibald Hanbury-Tracy, who represented Montgomery as an MP
- Adelaide Hanbury-Tracy, who became mother to diplomat Arthur Peel
Passing away at 62 years old, he was succeeded by his son Sudeley. Lady Sudeley died in July 1888.
