The Life of Thomas Ken is a two-volume biography written by William Lisle Bowles in 1831. The book focuses on the life of Thomas Ken, who was a bishop in the Church of England during the 17th century.

Bowles' biography provides a detailed account of Ken's life, including his early years, his time as a clergyman, and his political and religious beliefs. The book also explores the social and political context of the time, providing insight into the religious conflicts and power struggles of the 17th century.
