Tommy Fields (28 June 1908 3 June 1988) was a British actor, variety entertainer and music hall performer. He was the younger brother of Gracie Fields.

In 1926 Tommy Fields joined his sisters Gracie and Edith as the principal comedian in Archie Pitt's new revue By Request, and when they were joined by accordionist Nino Rossini (19011965), he and Tommy Fields decided to form a new double act, Fields and Rossini, with Tommy Fields playing the violin and performing eccentric dancing and Rossini playing his accordion and performing comedy. During 1928 and 1935 Fields and Rossini toured South Africa with Gracie Fields before joining Archie Pitt's new revue, The Shows the Thing, in which he sang three solos, "I Wish She'd Come Along Now", "Connie in the Cornfield", and "I Ain't Certain".

Throughout the 1930s Fields and Rossini met with success, playing at various venues, including the London Palladium on the same bill as Gracie Fields. They played at other variety theatres including the London Coliseum, the Hackney Empire and the Holborn Empire. In December 1937 the duo appeared in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at the Empress Theatre in Brixton in which Fields played Dame Trot. In 1939 he recorded two songs with his sister Gracie, "Two Sleepy People" and "The Umbrella Man", and in 1948 "Papa, Won't You Dance With Me?".
