Thomas Anthony Marino (born August 13, 1952) is an American politician and attorney. He is currently serving his third term as the U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Marino was born and raised in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. After graduating from High School, Marino went to work in the factories of Central Pennsylvania. At 30 years old, Marino enrolled in the former Williamsport Area Community College. Marino would then transfer to Lycoming College, where he graduated magna cum laude, before completing his law degree at Dickinson School of Law. He received his undergraduate degree from Lycoming College and his juris doctor from Dickinson School of Law.

Marino served as a Lycoming County District Attorney from 1992–2002. In 2002, Tom was appointed the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania by President George W. Bush.

The district, located in central and northeastern Pennsylvania, includes Bradford County, Juniata County, Lycoming County, Mifflin County, Pike County, Snyder County, Sullivan County, Susquehanna County, Union County, Wayne County, and portions of Perry County, Tioga County, Lackawanna County, Monroe County, and Northumberland County.

In 2010, Marino decided to challenge incumbent Democrat U.S. Congressman Chris Carney of Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district. He won the three-candidate Republican primary with 41% of the vote, defeating Dave Madeira (31%) and Snyder County Commissioner Malcolm Derk (28%). On November 2, 2010, Marino defeated Carney 55-45%.

Tom Marino won re-election to a second term, defeating Democratic nominee Philip Scollo 66%–34%.
