Thomas Overington Walker (7 December 1933 – 26 May 2016) was an Anglican priest and author.[1]

Walker was educated at Keble College, Oxford and Oak Hill Theological College and ordained in 1960. After curacies in Woking and St Leonards he was travelling secretary of the Inter-Varsity Fellowship from 1964 until 1967;[2] Succentor at Birmingham Cathedral; and then vicar of Harborne from 1970 until his appointment as archdeacon.[3]

Walker has been named in connection with sexual abuse of a female church worker during his time at Harborne.[4][5]
