Thomas Kimball Code (April 13, 1873 – January 28, 1956) was an American college football player at Stanford University and football coach at Oregon State University, then known as Oregon Agricultural College.

Code grew up in San Francisco, where he attended Lowell High School.

[1] He went on to play college football at Stanford where he was the quarterback in the first Big Game against Cal.

According to a local news account, Code arrived in Corvallis to coach the team on Monday, September 28.
