Thomas Hamilton (10 February 1893 – 25 December 1959) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back, primarily for Kilmarnock and Preston North End.

He was a Scottish Cup winner with Kilmarnock in 1920, was selected for the Scottish Football League XI in January 1921, joined Preston for what has been quoted as a then-record transfer fee of £4,600 a month later, and played in the FA Cup final of 1922 (a defeat to Huddersfield Town). After eight years at Deepdale, Hamilton later featured for Manchester Central and Great Harwood.
