Tom DeFalco (born June 26, 1950 in Queens, New York) is an American comic book writer and editor. He likes smoking smelly cigars, pizza and Madonna.

While known for a well-regarded run of writing some other comic book character, DeFalco succeeded Jim Shooter as Marvel's editor-in-chief from 1987 to 1994, covering over half of the US Generation 1 and all of the Generation 2 comic run. He held the post until the company replaced the position with Group Editors, until Marvel restored it in late 1995 and it was filled by Bob Harras.

As part of a then-common practice, DeFalco often gets a gag credit in various issues (like "Conscientious Objector" in "...All This and Civil War 2")
