Thomas McCarthy Fennell (22 December 1841 – 23 February 1914) was a Fenian political prisoner transported as a convict to Western Australia.
Born in County Clare, Ireland in 1841, Fennell was just four years old when the Irish Potato Famine struck.
Nonetheless he received a good education, attending either a Catholic school or a national school, and he learned to speak Gaelic at home.
