Thomas Mayne Daly, PC QC (August 16, 1852 – June 24, 1911) was a Canadian politician.
Born in Stratford, Canada West (now Ontario), the son of Thomas Mayne Daly (1827–1885) and Helen McLaren (Ferguson) Daly, his father was a member of the Canadian House of Commons for the riding of Perth North. His grandfather, John Corry Wilson Daly, was the first mayor of Stratford.
He was educated as a lawyer and was called to the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1876. He practised law in Stratford until 1881. In 1881, he moved to Brandon, Manitoba and practised law in partnership with George Robson Coldwell. In 1882, he was elected the first mayor of Brandon. During his first six-month term, Daly initiated a civic development program which allowed for raising $150 000 through debentures. He resigned as Mayor in December 1882. In 1884 he was re-elected as the Mayor of Brandon.
In 1887, Daly was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the riding of Selkirk as a Liberal-Conservative. He was reelected in 1891. He did not run in 1896. He was defeated in 1908. He was created a QC by the Governor General Lord Stanley in 1890.
