Thomas Joseph Ryan, born 1942, is a Canadian author.

Ryan moved into the USA and worked as a computer troubleshooter. Living in Garden Grove, California in 1977 he wrote his most known work, the science fiction novel "The Adolescence of P-1". The story is one of the earliest fictional depictions of a computer virus and how it intelligently can spread through a computer network.
