Thomas Mort (1 December 1897 – 6 June 1967) was an English footballer who played club football primarily for Aston Villa, as a left-back. He also made three appearances for the England national team between 1924 and 1926.
Villa signed Mort from Rochdale for £1,000 in 1922 and along with Tommy Smart, was part of a defensive tandem known for Villa as "Death and Glory." He played 13 seasons with the club with 337 appearances.
He was a cousin of Cardiff City defender Enoch Mort.
