Tomáš Vorobjov (in Slovak pronounced as /ˈtɔmaːʂ ˈʋɔrɔbjɔw/; born 1984) is a Slovak amateur astronomer and an observer and discoverer of minor planets, in particular near-Earth objects.

He is the director of the IASC Data Reduction Team and is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 9 numbered minor planets.

In October 2012, Vorobjov discovered 276P/Vorobjov, a periodic comet and his first comet discovery. He also discovered the trans-Neptunian object (TNO) in April 2012.

The Florian main-belt asteroid 4858 Vorobjov, discovered by American astronomer James Gibson at Palomar in 1985, was named after him.
