Tomáš Košický (born 11 March 1986) is a Slovak goalkeeper who currently plays for Asteras Tripolis in the Greek Superleague Greece.
Košický began his professional career with hometown club Inter Bratislava, where he advanced from the youth system into the senior squad. He made 12 appearances for the club before being sold to Sicilian giants, Calcio Catania in the Italian Serie A.
In the summer of 2008, Košický officially signed for Calcio Catania as a reserve goalkeeper. In his first season with the Sicilian club, Košický was the third choice goalkeeper, behind Albano Bizzarri and Ciro Polito. During the January 2009 transfer window, however, Košický became the club's second choice as Catania opted to loan Ciro Polito to US Grosseto FC. In return, Paolo Acerbis was brought in from Grosseto, also on loan.
In April 2009 it was confirmed that first choice goalkeeper, Albano Bizzarri would not be renewing his contract with Catania, and thus head coach Walter Zenga opted to use Košický as the starting keeper in order for the young Slovak to gain experience. Košický even served as captain for Catania in the 16 May 2009 Serie A fixture versus AS Roma. Košický began the new season as a reserve goalkeeper again, following the transfer of Argentine International, Mariano Andújar, as well as veteran Andrea Campagnolo. Košický made his 2010 Serie A debut in a March 2010 match away to Chievo Verona, the game ended 1–1. That match proved to be his only appearance of the 2009-10 season, and the Slovakian failed to make an appearance during the 2010-11 Serie A season.
