Thomas Joseph Mardaga (May 14, 1913 – May 28, 1984) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Wilmington from 1968 until his death in 1984.
Thomas Mardaga was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to Thomas and Agnes (née Ryan) Mardaga. He received his early education at the parochial school of St. Ann Church in his native city. He attended St. Charles College in Catonsville before studying for the priesthood at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore. He was ordained a priest by Archbishop Michael J. Curley on May 14, 1940.
Mardaga then served as a curate at St. Paul Church in Baltimore until being transferred to the Basilica of the Assumption, where he later became rector. In addition to his pastoral work, he served as archdiocesan director of the Catholic Youth Organization and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, executive secretary of the Catholic Charities Fund, and a member of the archdiocesan board of consultors. He was named a domestic prelate in 1963.
