Thomas Ivie was an English colonial administrator and the third agent of Madras from 1644 to 1648.
During Ivie's tenure, the English East India Company got a grant from Sri Ranga Rayalu from Vijayanagar dynasty by which the English acquisition of Madras was confirmed. The village of Narikamedu to the west of Madraspatnam was also given to the English East India Company. The copies of this new grant which were presented in 1645 to Greenhil survived to the present day.
