Tom Tarver-Priebe (born 31 July 1985) is a New Zealand equestrian.

Tarver-Priebe, with his mount Popeye, was named as a travelling reserve in the New Zealand show jumping team for the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics, following the withdrawal of Sharn Wordley because of an injury to his horse.[1] The day before the team competition, a further change was made with Tarver-Priebe and Popeye replacing Uma O'Neill and Clockwise Of Greenhill Z.[2] In qualification, Tarver-Priebe and Popeye incurred 13 faults, and the New Zealand team as a whole 39 faults, and did not progress to the team final.[3]

Of Māori descent, Tarver-Priebe affiliates to Ngāpuhi.[4]
