Thomas Rørdam S.K. (born 17 October 1952) is a Danish lawyer and former President of the Supreme Court of Denmark.
Before becoming a Supreme Court Judge in 2002, Rørdam was a notable defence lawyer. As a criminal defence lawyer he became known for a number of criminal cases, which was widely televised and received great public and media attention, including the case against the Blekingegade Gang, the Vadstrupgård case and the Plejebo case, and thus becoming probably one of the best known lawyers in recent Danish history.
