Thomas Foxe (1 June 1937 – 8 February 2000) was an Irish independent politician[1]

He was from Roscommon and owned Tom Foxe's Bar in the town.

Foxe was elected to Dáil Éireann as an independent Teachta Dála (TD) on his first attempt, at the 1989 general election in the Roscommon constituency. He unseated the sitting Fianna Fáil TD and former minister Seán Doherty.[2]

He was re-elected at the 1992 general election, for the new constituency of Longford–Roscommon, but lost his seat at the 1997 general election.[2]

At the 1991 local elections, he was elected to Roscommon County Council for Roscommon town, and served until his death on 8 February 2000.[2]
