Thomas Richard Tate (born 15 January 1959) is an Australian businessman, property investor, and politician who is the current and 13th mayor of the Gold Coast, Australia. Standing as an independent candidate he was first elected as mayor in 2012, and following his re-election in 2024 he is now the longest-serving holder of that office.

His vote in subsequent mayoral elections has increased since 2012, with the 2024 election delivering him 66% of the 2CP vote. Under the mayoralty of Tate, the Gold Coast City Council, the city's governing authority, has been investigated for corruption, however Tate was cleared from the investigation. He was also the subject of an ABC investigation, after which he banned ABC journalists from his press conferences.
