Thomas "Tommy" Glasson Lance (14 June 1891 – 29 February 1976) was a British track cycling racer. He won the tandem competition with Harry Ryan at the 1920 Summer Olympics. He also competed in the sprint event but was eliminated in the repechage.
Shortly before the Olympics, in June 1920, Ryan and Lance set a British quarter-mile record. After retiring from cycling Lance worked as a bookmaker in Brighton.
