Fr. Thomas "Tom" Fogarty (born 1951) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a left corner-back for the Tipperary senior team.

Born in Templetuohy, County Tipperary, Fogarty first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor teams as a dual player before later joining the under-21 hurling side. He joined the senior panel during the 1975 championship. Fogarty was an unused substitute during his career and ended his playing days without silverware.

At club level Fogarty was a one-time championship medallist with Moyne-Templetuohy.

Fogarty retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1976 championship.

In retirement from playing Fogarty became involved in team management and coaching. After acting as coach and selector with the Tipperary minor and under-21 teams he later managed both Tipperary and Offaly.[1]
