Thomas Joseph Corcoran (born May 23, 1939) is a former American politician who represented Illinois in the United States House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the U.S. Representative for Illinois’s 14th congressional district. Corcoran first took office on January 4, 1977, and remained in Congress until January 3, 1985, completing four consecutive terms in the House.
