Tom Patsalis (December 6, 1921 – July 29, 2014) was an American track and field athlete.
He has set 26 World Records in his career, a career that was still active in his late 80s.
As of 2014 he is the World Record holder in the M60 Long Jump, set in 1982 and thus a record he has held for more than three decades.
As of 2014, only one jumper has come within .2 m (7 ⁄4 in).
He is also the American record holder in the Long Jump for the M60 age division, has an as yet unrecognized mark that has been pending since 1977 (though recognized by the California Track News chief statistician at the time, Percy Knox) still 7 inches superior to the listed American record and is the American record holder in the Triple Jump in the M60 and M65 age divisions.
He was selected to the Masters division of the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2003.
