Tom Bourke (4 April 1918 – 29 December 2001) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s and 1940s.

A New South Wales representative centre, he played his club football in Sydney for Balmain who he captained, and with whom he won several premierships.

Later that year, he played in his first grand final, scoring two tries in his team's victory over South Sydney.

At the end of the 1944 NSWRFL season, Patton captained Balmain from the wing in the grand final against Newtown, winning 12–8.

After his retirement from the playing field, Bourke continued his association with the Balmain club through coaching and as a selector.
