Tom Pelly (1 June 1936 – 23 June 2006)^[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1950s.

Pelly was a Grogan Medal winner while with Western Districts in 1956 and before that had played for Brunswick YCW. His performance at Western Districts earned him a chance in the VFL and he left the Queensland club at the end of the year to join North Melbourne. A rover, he played eight senior games in but only two in 1958.^[3] He finished the 1958 season at Williamstown, having been cleared by North Melbourne in July, and was a member of their VFA premiership team that year and again in 1959.^[4]
