Thomas Foley (1617–1677) was an English ironmaster and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1659 and 1677.

Foley took over his father's business and made great profits from it in the 1650s and 1660s, which he used to buy estates.

In 1673 he was elected MP for Bewdley in a by-election to the Cavalier Parliament.

In the late 1660s, he founded a bluecoat school at Stourbridge known as Old Swinford Hospital, which he endowed in his will.
