Thomas Paget, 3rd Baron Paget, was a Catholic member of the Paget family. He went into exile in 1583 in connection with political and religious controversies, after which the family estate was confiscated by the Crown.

The researched source calls him Sir Thomas Paget the younger and links his death or estate event to the confiscation of the Paget estate; the exact legal chronology of attainder and forfeiture requires examination of the relevant Crown records.
