Thomas "Tom "Dunne (12 November 1906 – 15 February 1983) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond and North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Originally from Kerang, Dunne was a defender during his league career.[1] He was on a half back flank in the 1929 VFL Grand Final, which Richmond lost to Collingwood.[2] Despite not playing a game in the 1931 home and away season, he came into the side for the semi final, replacing Maurie Sheahan at centre half-back.[3] He remained in that position for the 1931 VFL Grand Final but again finished on the losing team.[2]
