Thomas Patrick Corrigan (17 February 1884 – 19 January 1952) was an Australian politician. A member of the Labor Party, he represented the district of Port Melbourne in the Victorian Legislative Assembly from his election at a 1942 by-election until his death in January 1952. His son, Stan Corrigan, succeeded him as MLA for Port Melbourne when he was elected in the 1952 by-election.[1]

Corrigan was born in South Melbourne, Victoria to Irish labourer Patrick Corrigan and his wife Mary Jane Edwards. He worked as a fitter and turner for the South Melbourne engineering firm Hillyards, and later with the Victorian Board of Works.[1]
