Thomas Robert McKibbin (10 December 1870 – 15 December 1939) was an Australian cricketer who played in five Test matches from 1895 to 1898. A right-arm bowler who imparted tremendous spin to the ball, McKibbin sometimes had his action questioned, but he was never called for throwing. He took 101 wickets at an average of 14.26 on the Australians' tour of England in 1896. In 1896-97 he set a record for the Sheffield Shield when he took 44 wickets in the season, a figure which stood until 1934–35, when Chuck Fleetwood-Smith took 62 wickets.McKibbin was enabled to achieve exceptional spin by his unusually flexible wrist. A contemporary report noted: "Placing his arm upon a table, with the hand palm down, he can, keeping the forearm rigid, twist his hand around from the wrist until his palm faces upward."
