Thomas Theodore Fields, Jr., known as T. T. Fields (October 12, 1912 – January 17, 1994), was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from his native Farmerville in Union Parish in north Louisiana. He served from 1952 to 1964 and again from a combined Union and Morehouse parish district from 1968 to 1972. His service extended under Governors Robert F. Kennon, Earl Kemp Long, Jimmie Davis, and the second administration of John McKeithen.
Fields's namesake grandfather, Theodore Thomas Fields, I (1846-1921), was a newspaper editor in Avoyelles Parish in South Louisiana and a native of Danville in Boyle County, Kentucky. Fields' father, Harvey Fields, a Marksville native, was a state senator for Union and Morehouse parishes from 1916 to 1920, a member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission from 1927 to 1936, and briefly a law partner of Huey Pierce Long, Jr.
