Thomas "Tommy" Coyle (born 9 January 1959) is a Scottish former professional football midfielder. His brothers Joe and Owen also played professionally.

Coyle began his career with non-league Shettleston before signing for Dumbarton in 1978. He established himself in the first team at Boghead Park and, along with Albert Craig, scored in a 2-2 draw with Clyde that ensured Dumbarton promotion to the Scottish Premier Division for the first time.[3]

Aside from playing in the club's only season in the revamped top division Coyle appeared in the first team alongside both of his brothers.[4] He left Dumbarton in 1987 and went on to play for St Johnstone and Clydebank.
