Tom Fitzgerald (born August 28, 1968 in Billerica, Massachusetts) is a professional hockey player who has played sixteen seasons in the National Hockey League and the American Hockey League.

Fitzgerald played his college hockey for Providence College and was selected by the New York Islanders of the NHL in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft (1st round, 17th overall). In 1990, he was one of the key players who led the minor league Springfield Indians to the AHL Calder Cup championship. He played parts of five seasons for the Islanders before being drafted as one of the original Florida Panthers in 1993. Although he has been cast as a defensive forward in the NHL, he had his best scoring years in Miami and was one of the leaders in Florida's 1996 Stanley Cup run.

He was briefly traded to the Colorado Avalanche in 1998 before being drafted in another expansion draft, this time by the Nashville Predators, who sought out his veteran leadership. Fitzgerald was named Nashville's first captain and so served for four seasons. He has subsequently played for the Chicago Blackhawks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Fitzgerald signed as a free agent with the Boston Bruins in the summer of 2004, and is playing for the Bruins in the 2005-06 NHL season.

Tom and his wife Keri have four sons; Ryan, Casey, Jack and Brandon.
