  Thomas P. "Tom" Finlay (1897 – 6 September 1967) was an Irish hurler who played as a wing-back for the Laois senior team.
  
  Regarded as one of Laois's greatest-ever players, Finlay played during the county's most successful period from 1914-15 before later lining out for Dublin. During his inter-county career he won two All-Ireland medals and three Leinster medals. Finlay was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
  
  At club level Finlay won several county club championship medals with Ballygeehan.
  
  His brother, Jack Finlay, was also an All-Ireland medalist with Laois.
