Tom McVie (born 1935-06-06 in Trail, British Columbia) was a coach in the National Hockey League. He coached the Washington Capitals from the 1975-76 season to the middle of the 1978-79 season. He immediately moved to the Winnipeg Jets, then in the World Hockey Association, and coached the team with Bill Sutherland in its first two NHL seasons, 1979-80 and 1980-81. He replaced Bill MacMillan as head coach of the New Jersey Devils midway through the 1983-84 season, in which the team posted the worst record in its history. McVie returned as an NHL head coach with the Devils in 1991-92 after coaching the AHL Utica Devils.
