Tamás Mocsai (born 9 December 1978) is a retired Hungarian handball player who played for MKB Veszprém KC and the Hungarian national team.

He started to play handball at the age of 10 in Lemgo, where his father, Lajos Mocsai was in charge at that time. He spent his youth career in Germany, before debuting in the Handball-Bundesliga. His biggest success during his spell in Germany was the EHF City Cup, he achieved in 1998.

Then he moved to Hungarian vice-champions Dunaferr SE, with whom he has broken the long-term hegemony of MKB Veszprém KC and won the Hungarian National Championship in his first season. He collected a silver and a bronze in the following seasons, and in addition, he lifted the Hungarian Cup trophy in 2001.

Later, he tried his hands in Switzerland. He signed to TV Suhr in 2002 and quickly became a fans' favourite. He was voted the best player of his team in 2003, and finished third on the goalscoring charts. He switched to domestic rivals and Champions League aspirants Pfadi Winterthur in 2004 to replace Cho Chi-Hyo, who was transferred to Wacker Thun. Mocsai signed a two-year deal with his new team, however, the bad performances and the restructure of the board resulted a mass exodus in 2005. Many players left the club, including Mocsai, who started the season at SG Kronau/Östringen.

At the end of the season he signed a three-year contract with his former club TBV Lemgo. With the North Rhine-Westphalian team he won the EHF Cup in 2010, after beating Kadetten Schaffhausen in the finals. Between 2010 and 2012 he played for SG Flensburg-Handewitt, subsequently he signed a two-year contract with Bundesliga rivals TSV Hannover-Burgdorf. In December 2013 he left Hannover and went to MKB Veszprém KC.
