Thomas Edward Sieckmann (born January 14, 1955) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour.

Sieckmann was born in York, Nebraska.

He turned professional in 1977.

Sieckmann had a 17-year career on the PGA Tour highlighted by a win at the 1988 Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic.^[1] He had a top 10 finish at the 1990 U.S. Open.
