Tysoe Saul Hancock (December 1723 – 5 November 1775) was a British surgeon who was employed by the East India Company (EIC) in the Madras Presidency. His daughter Eliza was referred to as the "exotic cousin" by Jane Austen. A painting depicting him with family, made by Joshua Reynolds had also been the subject of debate. He was also a close associate of Warren Hastings.
