Tom Leamore (24 August 1866 - 6 September 1939) was an English popular variety comedian, dancer and singer. He debuted at the Rodney Music Hall in 1880 and quickly grew into a successful stage performer, singing comically and dancing eccentrically with clogs. In December 1905 he portrayed Ali Baba in the pantomime of The Forty Thieves at the Marlborough Theatre, an experience he did not enjoy and never repeated. His best known song was Percy from Pimlico which he composed and wrote himself. He was featured singing this song in the 1968 documentary A Little of What You Fancy. Tony Barker of Music Hall Records referred to him as "second only to Dan Leno".
