Thomas Wood Thornhill, known as Tom Thornhill (born February 13, 1952) is an attorney from Slidell in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, who served as the District 76 Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for a single term from 1996–2000.
With 7,113 votes (54.7 percent), Thornhill won the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 21, 1995, over an Independent and two other Republican candidates. The one-term incumbent, Suzanne Mayfield Krieger, did not seek reelection but ran instead unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor. Four years earlier, Krieger had unseated veteran Republican Representative Edward C. Scogin of Slidell. Thornhill did not seek reelection in 1999, when he was succeeded by Republican A. G. Crowe of Slidell, a narrow winner over former Representative Suzanne Krieger.
Thornhill graduated from Bogalusa High School in Bogalusa in Washington Parish, one of the southeastern Florida Parishes. He received a Bachelor of Arts in political science and the Juris Doctor from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he was a member of the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He also did postgraduate work at Tulane University in New Orleans. Thornhill was a delegate to the state Republican conventions in 1991 and 1995. He is affiliated with the Slidell Chamber of Commerce and Little Theater. He is Baptist. His wife is the former Linda Darbonne.
