Thomas Clement „Tommy“ Douglas, PC, CC, SOM (* 20. Oktober 1904 in Falkirk, Großbritannien; † 24. Februar 1986 in Ottawa, Ontario) war ein kanadischer sozialdemokratischer Politiker. Der aus einer schottischen Einwandererfamilie stammende baptistische Pastor war 17 Jahre lang – vom 10. Juli 1944 bis zum 7. November 1961 – Premierminister der Provinz Saskatchewan. Die von ihm geführte Regierung war die erste sozialistische in Nordamerika und begründete das öffentliche Gesundheitssystem in Kanada. Von 1942 bis 1961 war er Vorsitzender der Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in Saskatchewan. Als die CCF sich im Jahr 1961 mit dem Canadian Labour Congress zur Neuen Demokratischen Partei (NDP) zusammenschloss, wurde Douglas zum Parteivorsitzenden auf Bundesebene gewählt; dieses Amt hatte er bis 1971 inne. Insgesamt 24 Jahre lang saß er (mit kurzen Unterbrechungen) im kanadischen Unterhaus, von 1935 bis 1944 sowie von 1962 bis 1979.
