Tom George Sawyer Conlon (born 3 February 1996) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for, and captains, EFL League Two club Oldham Athletic. He has represented the England C team. He is a descendant of Football League players George Heppell and Albert Pearson.

Conlon began his career in the youth set-up at Stoke City, later joining the youth academies at Newcastle Town and Peterborough United respectively. He made a handful of appearances in the first-team at Peterborough before signing for Stevenage on loan in September 2014, a deal that was subsequently made permanent in January 2015. He signed with Port Vale in July 2018, was appointed club captain in January 2021 and named Player of the Year at the end of the 2020–21 season. Vale were promoted out of League Two via the play-offs in 2022, though Conlon was unable to play due to injury. He joined Oldham Athletic in January 2024 on a two-and-a-half-year deal. He was promoted out of the National League play-offs with the club in 2025.
