Thomas Pichler (born 18 September 1986) is an Australian former artistic gymnast.
Born in Austria, Pichler suffered from health problems as a child which resulted in his family moving to Australia in search of a warmer climate. He grew up in Brisbane, Queensland.
Pichler was out of action in 2009 due to a knee reconstruction but returned in 2010 to claim two gold medals at the Delhi Commonwealth Games, for the floor and team all-around events.
In 2017, Pichler was a contestant on the first season of Australian Ninja Warrior.
