George Thomas Fleming, known as Tom Fleming, was an English international lawn bowler who was born in Sedgefield in 1910 and died in 1977. He bowled for Albert Park Bowling Club in Middlesbrough and represented Yorkshire in national competition, finishing as runner-up in the English national singles championship in both 1959 and 1960. His greatest success came at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, where he won the gold medal in the men's rinks, or fours, event alongside Sidney Drysdale, David Bryant and Les Watson. His career is documented in Commonwealth Games medallist listings, bowls club profiles and national championship records, and his 1962 gold places him among the English bowlers who won Commonwealth titles in the fours.
