Thomas Underwood Groube (2 September 1857 in New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand – 5 August 1927 in Melbourne) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test in 1880. He had a highest first-class score of 61. In 1878-79, he had averaged 155.33 for the East Melbourne club and this helped him earn his only Test cap.[1] He was the first New Zealand-born Test cricketer.[2]

Groube was a successful batsman in Melbourne club cricket in the late 1870s and early 1880s. In later years he also contributed articles about cricket and Australian football to local newspapers and journals.[3]
