Thomas Rådström (born 22 January 1966), nicknamed "Rådis", is a rally and rallycross driver from Sweden. He was one of the leading drivers of the National Swedish Rallycross Championship series during the second half of the 1980s. He then started rallying and competed in the World Rally Championship for nine consecutive years during 1994–2002, and returned in 2006.

He won the Swedish Rally Championship in 1996, and his most significant international successes have been in his home event, the Swedish Rally which he won in 1994. This was the first of four podiums and seven top ten finishes in nine attempts at this event.

He was a Toyota works driver from 1991–98, before switching to Ford for a season. He returned to Toyota in 2000, and from 2001–02 was employed by Citroën.
