Thomas Victor O'Carroll (born 1945) is a British writer (with dual Irish[2]/British[1] citizenship) and pro-paedophile advocate.[3][4] O'Carroll is a former chairman of the now disbanded Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and was at one time a prominent member of the International Paedophile and Child Emancipation (now known as Ipce).

During the 1970s, O'Carroll lobbied for the legalization of sexual activities between adults and children, as well as against the criminalization of child pornography, in the United Kingdom.[5][6]

He has been imprisoned for conspiring to corrupt public morals (1981)[7] and distribution of child pornography (2006).[3] In 2016, O'Carroll attempted to join the Labour Party but was expelled.[8]
