Thomas Mallalieu (22 May 1887 – 1969) was a British Labour Party politician and trade unionist.
Born in Delph, West Riding of Yorkshire, Mallalieu grew up in a family with strong ties to the textile industry. He became involved in the trade union movement early in his career, eventually serving as the secretary of the National Union of Blastfurnacemen, Ore Miners, Coke Workers and Kindred Trades.
His political career saw him elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Huddersfield in the 1922 general election. He served in the House of Commons until the 1924 general election, when he lost his seat. After his parliamentary career, Mallalieu continued his work in the trade union movement and remained an active figure in the Labour Party. He was a cousin of Frank Mallalieu, also a Labour MP.
