Thomas "Tommy" McCulloch (born 1 March 1934) is a former Scottish football goalkeeper.

McCulloch joined Clyde from local junior side Bridgeton Waverley in 1957. He won the 1958 Scottish Cup in his first season with the club, keeping a clean sheet in the final against Hibernian. McCulloch is one of Clyde's greatest servants, and spent 15 years with the club, making 475 appearances in all competitions. He left Clyde in 1972, and joined Hamilton Academical for a year, before retiring.

He played a total on 491 games in his 16-year career. He regularly attends Clyde functions, and was presented with a bottle of whisky in the 2007-08 Clyde player of the year event, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1958 Scottish Cup win.[4] He was inducted into the inaugural Clyde FC Hall of Fame in 2011.[5]
