Thomas Michael Eastman (born 21 October 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Isthmian League North Division club Maldon & Tiptree.

Eastman is a product of the Ipswich Town Academy, where he progressed through the ranks since the age of eight before making his first-team debut in 2010, a match in which he was sent off for a second bookable offence. After finding his chances with Ipswich limited, he moved to Colchester United in the summer of 2011. After making his Colchester debut in August 2011, he joined Crawley Town in an emergency loan deal in September 2011, where he made six appearances, before returning to the U's and establishing himself as a regular starter in the centre of defence. He has made over 300 league appearances for the Essex club. In 2020, he became the club's first player to be named Player of the Year on four occasions.
