Tom Beim (born 11 December 1975 in Frimley, England) is a former rugby union footballer, who played on the wing for Sale, Gloucester, Viadana, Pertemps Bees, the Barbarians and England.
Beim was a prolific try scorer in the Premiership with Gloucester and Sale before moving to Italian side Viadana. Beim holds the record of number of tries scored in a Heineken Cup game, touching down five times against Italian club Roma. During his two seasons at Viadana he scored 31 tries. After a succession of injuries, Beim retired from professional rugby and has carved out a successful international polo career ever since.
Beim made two appearances for England during a summer tour to New Zealand in 1998 and featured in the England squad again in 2002 when he was called in as a replacement during the two match tour of Argentina. He later went on to play for the England A side on a number of occasions. He also appeared for the Barbarians.
