Thomas John Beer (born December 21, 1944, Detroit) was an American football player who played at the University of Houston and professionally for the Denver Broncos of the American Football League and the NFL's Boston Patriots and New England Patriots.

Following his playing days, Beer wrote the sardonically ribald 1974 memoir "Sunday's Fools: Stomped, Tromped, Kicked and Chewed in the NFL", recounting the experience of playing for two of the worst franchises in pro football during his career. He also was an executive for the New York Stars of the short-lived World Football League.

He is currently residing in New Jersey.
