Thomas Clement "Tommy" Douglas, CC (Falkirk, Escócia, 20 de outubro de 1904 – Ottawa, Canadá, 24 de fevereiro de 1986) foi um pastor batista de origem escocesa que virou um proeminente político social-democrata no Canadá. Como sétimo primeiro-ministro da província de Saskatchewan de 1944 a 1961, pelo partido Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), liderou o primeiro governo socialista da América do Norte e introduziu o modelo de saúde pública universal no Canadá. Quando o CFC se uniu ao sindicato para formar o Novo Partido Democrático (New Democratic Party - NDP), Douglas foi escolhido como líder do novo partido a nível federal, posto em que serviu por dez anos, até 1971. Ele é lembrado por sua sagacidade e oratória, através da qual expressou seu idealismo, exemplificado pela fábula da Mouseland. Em 2004, Tommy Douglas foi eleito o maior canadense de todos os tempos numa competição organizada pela emissora de televisão Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Sua candidatura foi defendida pelo repórter da CBC George Stroumboulopoulos. Em 2006, esta mesma emissora levou ao ar a minissérie Gigante da Planície: A História de Tommy Douglas, feita em sua homenagem.
