Thomas Edmund Dewey (* 24. März 1902 in Owosso, Michigan; † 16. März 1971 in Bal Harbour, Florida) war ein US-amerikanischer Jurist und Politiker der Republikanischen Partei. Er war vom 1. Januar 1943 bis zum 31. Dezember 1954 Gouverneur des Bundesstaates New York. Außerdem war er erfolgloser Kandidat seiner Partei bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen 1944 und 1948, wobei er der erste Präsidentschaftskandidat war, der im 20. Jahrhundert geboren wurde. Während seines politischen Wirkens war Dewey Anführer des liberal-moderaten Parteiflügels der Republikaner (sogenanntes „Ostküsten-Establishment“), der für einen gemäßigten Kurs eintrat und damit im Konflikt mit den konservativen Elementen der Partei stand.
