Jeremiah "Tommy" Ryan (12 August 1873 – 29 August 1948) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Ryan, a rover and forward, came to Melbourne from Richmond City. He had spent the 1890s playing in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) for both Carlton and Richmond.

On his VFL debut, Ryan kicked five goals, as Melbourne defeated St Kilda by 93 points at the MCG. He was the club's leading goal-kicker in their premiership year of 1900 with 24 goals, one of those in the 1900 VFL Grand Final which he played from a forward pocket.
