Thomas "Tom" Kelleher (August 31, 1925 – March 31, 2011) was an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) for 28 years, from 1960 until the conclusion of the 1987 NFL season. Working as a back judge, Kelleher was assigned five Super Bowls; Super Bowl IV, Super Bowl VII, Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV and Super Bowl XIX; one of five officials to reach such an achievement. He wore number 25 for the major part of his career. For 1979 through 1981, Kelleher wore the number 7. He was born in Philadelphia, and died in Miami.

Kelleher worked the final 11 seasons of his career on the crew of Jerry Markbreit, who later became the only official to work four Super Bowls (XVII, XXI, XXVI, XXIX) at the referee position.
