Ambry Thomas (born September 9, 1999) is an American professional football cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Michigan Wolverines and was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft. Thomas has also been a member of the Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings.

Thomas attended Martin Luther King High School in Detroit, Michigan. He played wide receiver and cornerback. Thomas played in the 2017 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He committed to the University of Michigan to play college football.

Thomas spent his first two years at Michigan in 2017 and 2018 as a backup, recording 16 tackles and an interception during the two years. Prior to the 2019 season, Thomas spent a month in the hospital after being diagnosed with colitis. After believing that he would have to sit out the year due to the condition, Thomas returned and became a starter for the first time. He started all 13 games and had 38 tackles and three interceptions that season. Thomas opted out of the 2020 season and entered the 2021 NFL draft.

Thomas was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round (102nd overall) of the 2021 NFL draft. He signed his four-year rookie contract on July 26, 2021.

Thomas made his NFL debut in the season-opener against the Detroit Lions and finished the 41–33 road victory with two tackles. During Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Thomas recorded a season-high six tackles in 2623 overtime road victory. In the next game against the Atlanta Falcons, he had two tackles and a pass deflection during the 3113 victory.

During a Week 16 20–17 road loss to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football, Thomas recorded a tackle and two pass deflections. In the next game against the Houston Texans, he had four tackles and a pass deflection during the 23–7 victory. During the regular-season finale on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, Thomas recorded a pass deflection and his first career interception off of quarterback Matthew Stafford in overtime with the 49ers leading 27–24, sending the 49ers to the playoffs.

Thomas finished his rookie year with 23 tackles, five pass deflections, and an interception in 12 games and five starts. During the Wild Card Round against the Dallas Cowboys, Thomas made his postseason debut and finished the 23–17 road victory with three tackles and a pass deflection. During the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, Thomas had a team-high 13 tackles in the 20–17 road loss.

In 2022, Thomas struggled during preseason training camp and was in danger of missing the final 53-man roster due to injury and the rise to prominence of rookie cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir and Samuel Womack. Although he made the final roster, Thomas played just 47 defensive snaps over the course of the season and did not play in the playoffs due to an ankle injury.
