Tommy Ambrose (born Thomas Ambrose 19 October 1939 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian singer-songwriter.

He was a gospel music singer in his youth, performing on radio stations such as CFRB and CKEY and at Youth for Christ events. In adulthood, he adopted mainstream musical styles and subject matter and was featured in national television programmes such as CBC's "Cross-Canada Hit Parade" in the late 1950s and into the 1960s. He also composed and sung numerous jingles for commercials and for broadcasters' themes.

Ambrose was nominated for a Juno Award in 1981 in the Best Jazz Album category for his album, "Tommy Ambrose at Last", with the Doug Riley Band.
