Tom Steele (15 November 1905 – 28 May 1979) was a Scottish Labour politician.

Steele worked as a station master and served on the board of the Lanark Co-operative Society.

Steele was elected as Member of Parliament for the constituency of Lanark in 1945, defeating Alec Douglas-Home, and served as Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of National Insurance.

He lost this seat to the Conservative Party in 1950 but was re-elected for Dunbartonshire West from 1951 to 1970, when he retired. His successor in this seat was Ian Campbell.

At elections his campaign sometimes used the slogan "Vote Steele For Strength".
