Tom Mason is a fictional character and protagonist of the TNT television series Falling Skies played by Noah Wyle. Falling Skies tells the story of the aftermath of a global invasion by several races of extraterrestrials that neutralizes the world's power grid and technology, quickly destroys the combined militaries of all the world's countries, and apparently kills over 90% of the human population within a few days. Mason is one of the leaders of the 2nd Mass, a group of survivors fighting against the aliens.

The character was created by series creator Robert Rodat. Noah Wyle was cast in the role in 2009, on recommendation by executive producer Steven Spielberg who produced Wyle's previous series ER.

In the first season, Tom Mason is made the second-in-command of the 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment, a group of civilians and fighters fleeing post-apocalyptic Boston. Tom's wife perished during the attacks. He is the father of three boys; Hal, Ben and Matt. At the start of the series Ben is captured and harnessed by the Skitters.

Tom and his team rescue Ben and remove the harness. Anne Glass, the 2nd Mass physician, is good friends with Tom. He shares some of her views on the rights of civilians. Anne lost her husband and young son during the attacks. Later on in the season, the 2nd Mass get ready to leave the High School after their position is compromised by Terry Clayton, a soldier who hands over children to the Skitters. The 2nd Mass go to the city to attack the Skitters base, bringing 50 volunteers. Tom stays back with the civilians and evacuates the school. He kisses Anne and asks her to take care of his children, as he plans to find Weaver and the 2nd Mass in the city. Returning to the strike force, Tom meets Pope, who cannot go with him as he is caring for a wounded man, but presents him with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. He then finds Weaver, and as they approach the Skitters' base Tom succeeds in bringing down a Skitter ship which then crashes into the structure with a spectacular explosion. On the way back to the 2nd Mass, Tom and Weaver are blocked by Karen who has been captured and now wears a harness. Karen reveals the aliens had not anticipated such a high level of resistance from humanity and this has interested them; they want to talk. A furious Tom realizes the aliens thought Earth was an easy target and angrily chastises them for their nerve at attempting negotiating after what they have put humanity through. An alien ship lands and Tom is asked to come aboard. He agrees only after being told it is the only way to save Ben from the transition that is befalling him. The season ends with Tom taking Karen's hand and leaving a shocked Weaver behind.
