Tom Aggar (born 24 May 1984) is a British rower who competed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics.[1]

Aggar went to the University of Warwick where he was a member of the rugby union 1st XV as well as the Saracens F.C. development squad.[2] In 2005, whilst out with a group of friends, he slipped and fell eight feet on to a concrete path. Thinking that he had headed home alone, his friends left. When he regained consciousness two hours later, Aggar phoned for an ambulance. In his fall, he had broken his back and suffered a spinal injury, resulting in paralysis of his legs.[2]
