Tom Hooper is a Canadian songwriter and musician.

He was a founding member of the Kelowna punk band Gentlemen of Horror, and also of The Grapes of Wrath, one of the most popular Canadian rock bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s. When singer/guitarist Kevin Kane was ejected from The Grapes of Wrath in 1992, Hooper and the rest of the band went on to become Ginger. Hooper and Kane later reunited as The Grapes of Wrath in 1998 and released an album called "Field Trip" in 2000. He is the brother of Chris Hooper.

Hooper later released a solo album, "The Unexplored Cosmos", in 2002. In 2007, he released the solo album "Basement Suite".

He is married to ex-Lava Hay singer songwriter Suzanne Little, with whom he has two children.
