Thomas Boyd, known as Tom (born 22 August 1995), is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League. The Greater Western Sydney Giants selected him with the first overall pick in the 2013 AFL draft after he led the TAC Cup in goal kicking in 2012 with the Eastern Ranges, and after one season he was traded to the Western Bulldogs in a deal that sent Ryan Griffen the other way. He was a strong aerial presence in the Bulldogs' 2016 Grand Final win, their first premiership since 1954. Injuries and mental health struggles limited him to no more than 15 games in any season, and he retired in May 2019.
