Thomas P. Foy (March 13, 1951 – September 1, 2004) was an American Democratic Party politician who served in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature representing the 7th Legislative District, which covers portions of Burlington County and Camden County. He served in the General Assembly from 1984 to 1990, and was appointed to fill a vacancy in the New Jersey Senate, serving there from 1990 to 1992.

Born in Burlington, NJ, Foy was an honors graduate of Duke University (1973). Later, Foy attended Rutgers School of Law–Camden, graduating in 1977. Foy worked as an attorney specializing in labor relations. He had been general counsel to the New Jersey AFL-CIO in the 1980s, and was later employed as senior vice president of business development for Hill International, where he worked on issues relating to the firm's construction projects on the Tappan Zee Bridge and Interstate 287 in Westchester County, New York.

His first elected office was to the Burlington Township Council, where his brother would later serve as mayor. He was elected to the General Assembly and served there until 1990. He was named in November 1990 to fill a vacancy in the Senate left by Catherina A. Costa to become Director of the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and served there from 1990 to 1992. In a party convention in January 1991, Jack Casey was chosen to fill the remaining portion of the term remaining in the General Assembly seat that had been vacated by Foy the previous month.
