Andrew Thomas DelGiorno, also known as "Tommy Del" (born 1940, South Philadelphia), is a former American mobster, captain in the Philadelphia crime family and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant. He was responsible for five murders during his association with Nicky Scarfo in the 1980s. DelGiorno is of Polish and Italian heritage; he managed to hide his Polish heritage from his friends in the Philadelphia Mob so that he could be formally inducted into the Philadelphia Mob.

DelGiorno was born to a father who was an immigrant from San Piero, Sicily, and a Polish-American mother in South Philadelphia. In 1964, at age 24, he was supplementing his days as a delivery truck driver with a small-time bookmaking and policy operation at night and on weekends. At the time he was just one of hundreds of numbers writers in South Philadelphia chasing after action. He also began hanging out in afterhour clubs and began to socialize with mobsters at card and dice games.

He later became a close friend of numbers writer John Bastione, when Bastione retired years later he left his entire operation and a large sum of money to back the operation to DelGiorno. DelGiorno was soon in need of financiers to cover his action in an emergency. He became an avid fan of professional boxing.

In 1967 DelGiorno met Joseph McGreal, a Highway Truck Drivers & Helpers Local 107 organizer, and began working for him. The two became close friends and business associates. DelGiorno was interested in labor racketeering and McGreal was interested in gambling. DelGiorno was involved in the strike that resulted in the closure of United Parcel Service and left 1,150 truck drivers and warehouse workers jobless. But DelGiorno didn't mind the loss of permanent employment, and it had little effect on his lifestyle. McGreal began backing DelGiorno's criminal activities. He was a protege of Frank (Frankie Flowers) D'Alphonso.
