Tom Bristow (born 16 August 1991) is an English rugby union player who is currently playing for RC Narbonne. Bristow's position of choice is Prop.

Bristow was born in Hong Kong, and attended Tomlinscote School and Sixth Form College in Frimley. Following his A-levels, Bristow studies Geography at Kingston University.

Bristow joined London Welsh from Dorking Rugby Club, whom he helped secure a top five finish in National League Three London last season. In May 2012 he was also part of the Surrey team which won the County Shield, beating Leicestershire 43-12 in the final at Twickenham. The loosehead's abilities were spotted by Harlequins and in October 2011 he was called up by Quins to play in the Aviva A League against Saracens at Woolam Playing Fields. Bristow impressed enough in a good 60-minute shift to be asked back and he made two further appearances for Harlequins in the Aviva A League against Gloucester and London Irish.

Bristow has also played for Bedford Blues, Chobham Rugby Club, Guildford Rugby Club and Camberley Rugby Club.

It was announced on 15 July 2013 that Bristow has signed for Leicester Tigers for the start of the 2013-14 season.[1]

On 22 May 2015 Bristow joined Premiersip rivals Wasps for the upcoming 2015-16 season. On 19 June 2017 Bristow confirmed he would be leaving the club.[2] On 9 August 2017 it was confirmed that Bristow signed for French club RC Narbonne in the Pro D2 from the 2017-18 season.[3]
