Thomas "Tom" Jordan (born May 24, 1981 in Manchester [At the time his father Joe was playing for Manchester United.] , England) is a semi-professional footballer, currently playing for Conference South side Eastleigh where he plays as a defender.

In December 2007 he stepped down as Havant and Waterlooville's skipper and missed the historic FA Cup 2nd round proper victory over Notts County as Eastleigh [Managed since October 2007 by former Hawks manager Ian Baird] made a second approach for him [On 4th December 2007 Hawk's Assistant Manager Charlie Oatway stated in Portsmouth evening The News that he believed Baird's new club were "tapping up" (making an illegal contact) Jordan, a viewpoint Eastleigh Director of football David Malone vigourously denied- page 53 "Oatway furious as skipper quits role"] . Although Jordan played in the ground-breaking 3rd round win against League Two leaders Swansea and the 4th round tie at Liverpool he still wanted a move to Eastleigh [The News Thursday 17th January, 2008] and spent the rest of the season on the sidelines and negotiations between the two clubs broke down.

In the close-season following the 2007/2008 campaign, he finally completed the move to Eastleigh [Daily Echo Thursday 26th June, 2008] .

He is the son of the Scottish international footballer Joe Jordan, who was centre-forward for Leeds United during the 1970s.
