Thomas Joseph Ridge (s. 26. elokuuta 1945) on yhdysvaltalainen republikaanisen puolueen poliitikko, joka oli edustajainhuoneen jäsen Pennsylvaniasta (1983–1995), Pennsylvanian kuvernööri (1995–2001), Yhdysvaltain presidentti George W. Bushin kotimaan turvallisuuden avustaja (2001–2003) ja kotimaan turvallisuuden ministeri (2003–2005).[1]

Ridge opiskeli Harvard Collegessa ja palveli armeijassa Vietnamin sodassa, josta palasi 1970.[2] Hän suoritti oikeustieteen tohtorin tutkinnon Dickinson School of Law'ssa 1972.[1]

Hän oli Erie Countyn piirisyyttäjänä ennen valintaansa edustajainhuoneeseen. Kuvernöörinä hän ajoi lakia ja järjestystä ja allekirjoitti yli 200 kuolemantuomiota, viisi kertaa enemmän kuin kaksi edeltäjäänsä yhteensä. Toimeen Pennsylvaniassa pantiin hänen kuvernööriaikanaan kuitenkin vain kolme kuolemantuomiota.[2][3]

Syyskuun 11. päivän 2001 iskujen jälkeen presidentti Bush loi valkoisen talon Office of Homeland Securityn ja nimesi Ridgen sen johtoon.[2] Marraskuun 2002 Homeland Security Actin hyväksymisen jälkeen siitä tuli ministeriön tasoinen Department of Homeland Security, jonka alle järjestettiin 22 virastoa ja 180 000 työntekijää suojelemaan Amerikkaa terrorismilta.[4][5] Ridgestä tuli Yhdysvaltain ensimmäinen kotimaan turvallisuuden ministeri tammikuussa 2003.[2]

Ridge ilmoitti jäävänsä eläkkeelle marraskuussa 2004.[6] Helmikuussa 2005 hänet nimitettiin Home Depotin johtokuntaan.[7]

Erie International Airport nimettiin hänen mukaansa Tom Ridge Fieldiksi.[8]
