Thomas Oakley (1879 – 4 April 1936) was a British electrician and politician. He became a prominent working-class Conservative in St Pancras, and later served a single term in Parliament representing The Wrekin constituency. An energetic man, he devoted much of his time to work with the Hearts of Oak Benefit Society, a friendly society. In politics he campaigned for the abolition of betting duty and against the creation of the Horserace Totalisator Board.
