Thomas Sewell (born 1993) is an Australian neo-Nazi activist and organiser, known for controversial public activism, violent criminal conduct, and promotion of Nazism. He was the leader of the National Socialist Network until its disbandment in 2026. He is also the leader of the European Australian Movement and the founder of the Lads Society. The groups led by Sewell focus on promoting white supremacy and far-right activism in Australia.

According to Sewell, in 2017 he attempted to recruit Brenton Tarrant, the eventual perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, into the Lads Society. Sewell drew public condemnation in 2021 after he attacked a security guard at a television office. In October 2023, he was sentenced to a prison term of one month and seven days after attacking hikers at Victoria's Cathedral Range. He was arrested in Melbourne on 2 September 2025, after having been part of a group attacking Aboriginal people at Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne during the March for Australia rallies two days prior.
