Thomas Francis Eagleton (4 September 1929 – 4 Maret 2007) adalah seorang pengacara Amerika yang menjabat sebagai senator Amerika Serikat mewakili Missouri dari tahun 1968 hingga 1987. Ia sempat menjadi calon wakil presiden dari Partai Demokrat mendampingi George McGovern pada tahun 1972. Ia menderita depresi yang kambuh sepanjang hidupnya dan beberapa kali harus dirawat di rumah sakit—hal yang dirahasiakan dari publik. Ketika fakta tersebut terungkap, tim kampanye McGovern menanggung malu, dan Eagleton terpaksa mundur dari pencalonan. Ia kemudian menjadi profesor luar biasa (adjunct professor) bidang urusan publik di Washington University di St. Louis.
