Thomas Ulrich (born July 11, 1975 in Berlin) is a German boxer. Ulrich won the light heavyweight bronze medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics, just like he did a year before at the 1995 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Berlin.
Ulrich turned pro 1997 and began his career 20-0 before getting stopped in the 6th round by future titlist Glen Johnson. He then won his next eight bouts, setting up a shot at WBC Light Heavyweight Title holder Tomasz Adamek in 2005. Adamek won via 6th round KO. In 2006, Ulrich got a shot at WBO Light Heavyweight Title holder Zsolt Erdei and lost a decision.
