Tom is an unincorporated small rural village in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, United States. It is the southeasternmost community in Oklahoma, in the midst of the Ouachita National Forest. At Tom, there are two churches, a food store, a senior center, a park, and a fire station, plus several homes. There is no gasoline station, public lodgings, medical service, post office, or other businesses or services.

The village was named for Tom Stewart, an early settler. A post office was established at Tom in 1916.
