Thomas Andrew Bailey (born December 14, 1902 - died July 26, 1983) was a professor of history at Stanford University and authored many historical monographs on diplomatic history, including the widely-used American history textbook, "The American Pageant". He was known for his witty style and passion about a term he coined, "International Gangsterism".

He taught American history for nearly 40 years at Stanford University and also served as a visiting professor at Harvard, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and other institutions. In 1968, he was elected to the presidency of the Organization of American Historians.
