Timothy Thomas Bresnan (born 28 February 1985, Pontefract) is an English cricketer who plays for Yorkshire. A medium-fast bowler, Bresnan won the NBC Denis Compton Award in 2002 and 2003, and earned his first international call-up in June 2006, when he was named in the England One-day International squad to play Ireland and Sri Lanka. Previously, Bresnan has also represented England at youth level, with seven youth Tests and 23 youth ODIs for England U-19. His batting is useful, with six first class fifties and a highest score of 94, and his 339 runs during the 2005 season was the ninth-highest in the Yorkshire side.

Bresnan was one of five players to play at least 15 of Yorkshire's 16 matches during the 2005 season, and with 47 wickets he was Yorkshire's second leading wicket-taker, behind South African Deon Kruis. As of 8 June 2006, his 2006 season has yielded 15 wickets, the most by any Yorkshire bowler^[1].

Bresnan made his England debut in a Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka at the Rose Bowl on 15 June 2006, scoring 6 not out and conceding 20 runs from his two overs. Two days later he appeared in his first One-Day International against the same opposition at Lord's, taking 1-44 from nine overs as England fell to a 20-run defeat.

He recently scored a century for Yorkshire whilst playing in a benefit match at Tickhill Cricket Club.
