Thomas Joseph Cullen was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]

A Dublin-born scrum-half, Cullen played his rugby for University College Dublin and was chosen to partner Jack Kyle for Ireland's opening match of the 1949 Five Nations, against France at Lansdowne Road.[2] He was discarded after Ireland suffered a loss, with Ernest Strathdee recalled in his place.[3]
