Thomas "Tommy" Cunningham (born June 22, 1964 in Drumchapel, Glasgow) is a Scottish musician, best known as the drummer for Wet Wet Wet.
Cunningham's father, Tom Sr., bought his son his first drum kit in 1977, "down the Social Club for £15". Shortly thereafter, a chance meeting with Graeme Clark on the school bus brought the two together.[1]
Cunningham acrimoniously left the band in 1997 (and formed The Sleeping Giants) after a dispute over royalty payments[1] and the band went on tour in 1998 without him. At its conclusion, the three remaining members went their separate ways. In 2004, however, they reunited.

- Cunningham owns a taxi firm in Glasgow and a pub in Clydebank (The Village Tavern in Duntocher, formerly known as the West End Bar).
