Thomas "Tommy" Ring (born 8 August 1930 in Glasgow; died 5 October 1997) was a Scottish footballer who played for Ashfield, Clyde, Everton, Barnsley, Aberdeen, Fraserburgh, Stevenage Town and the Scotland national team.

Ring is perhaps best known for his time at Scottish club Clyde, during which he won the Scottish Cup in 1955 and 1958 and Division Two championships in 1951-52 and 1956-57. He moved on to Everton in January 1960 for £8,000 but left in November 1961 and joined Barnsley. He returned to Scotland in 1963 with Aberdeen before ending his career with short spells at Fraserburgh and Stevenage Town.

Ring was capped 12 times by Scotland, all of which were earned while at Clyde and scored two goals.
