Thomas William MacLeod (born January 10, 1951) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 1973 NFL draft. He played college football at Minnesota.

A starter as a rookie in his only campaign with the Packers, MacLeod was acquired along with a 1975 eighth-round selection (192nd overall - Northwestern State running back Mario Cage) by the Baltimore Colts for Ted Hendricks and a 1975 second-round pick (28th overall - traded to Los Angeles Rams for John Hadl) on August 13, 1974.[1] [2]

Although he missed the entire 1976 season due to injury,[3] MacLeod was a starter in each of the four other seasons he spent in Baltimore until his retirement as an active player on July 20, 1978.[4]
