Tom Soehn (born April 15, 1966 in Chicago) is an American former soccer player, manager, and former Director of Soccer Operations for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Major League Soccer.

Soehn was born to immigrant parents. His parents moved to the United States from Germany, but his father was born in Romania. Soehn began playing soccer with the Chicago Kickers when he was four. He attended Forest View High School. He attended Western Illinois University from 1984 to 1987.[1] In 2003, Western Illinois inducted Soehn into its Athletics Hall of Fame.

Soehn signed with the Wichita Wings of Major Indoor Soccer League from 1988 to 1992. He moved to the Denver Thunder of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) for the 1992–1993 season before returning to the Wings in 1993 which were now playing in the NPSL. He remained with the Wings until 1996. In 1995, he played the summer indoor season with the Las Vegas Dustdevils of the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL).

In 1989, Soehn played a single season with the Ottawa Intrepid of the Canadian Soccer League (CSL).

In addition to playing indoor soccer, Soehn played with the Colorado Foxes of the American Professional Soccer League (APSL) in 1992[2], 1993[3] and 1994.[4] The Foxes went to three consecutive APSL championship games those three seasons.
