Thomas de Melsonby (died after 1244) was a medieval Bishop of Durham-elect and Prior of Durham.
Melsonby was the son of the
see of Durham on 1 June 1237 but King Henry III of England objected. After lawsuits, Melsonby resigned the bishopric.[1] He remained prior until 1244 when he resigned that office. He died sometime after 1244.[2]
