Thomas Law (8 March 1895 – 3 June 1937) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Law, originally from Shepparton, made two appearances in the 1922 VFL season, as a half forward and wingman.[2][3] He was one of six debutantes for South Melbourne in their opening round loss to Melbourne at Lake Oval and also played the following week, in a six-point win over Collingwood at Victoria Park.[2] In 1923 he was granted a permit to Bendigo East.[4]

On 3 June 1937, Law was traveling on the road between Dookie and Shepparton when his car struck a culvert, overturned and crashed into a fence.[5] He suffered head injuries and died in Mooroopna Hospital, just minutes after being admitted.[5]
