Thomas 'Tom' Baxter (born 23 February 1884) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Baxter, originally from Maldon, was a Collingwood premiership player in 1910. In the Grand Final he was reported for striking and suspended for the entire 1911 VFL season. Collingwood appealed the ban and it was overturned, after teammate Richard Daykin signed a declaration which stated that it was him that had struck Jack Baquie. As Daykin had retired after the Grand Final win, no player was suspended for the incident.
A rover, he performed well in 1911 and his 31 goals was enough to top Collingwood's goal-kicking. He finished the year in Collingwood's losing Grand Final team.
