Thomas Laughlin (February 14, 1971) is a semi-retired American wrestler better known by his ring name, Tommy Dreamer. He most rescently worked for World Wrestling Entertainment on its ECW brand until he asked for, and received, his release on January 4, 2010.

Dreamer is perhaps best known for the time he spent in the Philadelphia based Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion, of which he has been called the "heart and soul". Though he only held the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once in his time with the company – for a grand total of about 30 minutes – he was regularly embroiled in the company's most visible angles on screen and involved in the booking, some of the business decisions, and, like a number of other ECW wrestlers, was part of the day to day operations of the company off screen.

On June 7, 2009, at Extreme Rules 2009, Dreamer accomplished his dream of winning the ECW Championship again, pinning Jack Swagger in a Triple Threat match. Dreamer held the title until Night of Champions 2009 when he lost the title back to previous champion Christian.

Dreamer is currently competing on the independent circuit, appearing with Dragon Gate USA, CHIKARA, Evolve, American Championship Wrestling, Universal Championship Wrestling, and Maximum Pro Wrestling. He is currently competing for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
