Thomas Vose Daily (born September 23, 1927) is a retired American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn from 1990 to 2003 and is now Bishop Emeritus of the Brooklyn Diocese.

Bishop Daily was born to John F. and Mary McBride (née Vose) Daily, a member of an established New England family, in Belmont, Massachusetts in 1927. Upon completion of his studies at first Boston College and later St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts, he was ordained as a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston in 1952 by Richard Cardinal Cushing at Boston's Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Following ordination, he was assigned as curate for St. Ann's church in Wollaston, Quincy. He remained in that post through the rest of that decade.

In 1960, Bishop Daily joined the Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle and moved to the Minatambo area of Lima, Peru. He spent five years as a missionary in Peru.

After returning to Boston, he was assigned again to St. Ann's, where he served as assistant pastor until 1971. He was appointed to the position of secretary to Cardinal Humberto Sousa Medeiros and later Vicar for Temporalities. In 1975, he was consecrated as an auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Boston and in 1976 was appointed vicar general of the archdiocese. Because of his fluency in Spanish, he was given special duties regarding the Spanish-speaking members of the archdiocese.
