Thomas Oikonomou (Greek: Θωμάς Οικονόμου, 1864–1927) was aGreek actor and one of the first modern Greek directors.
Son of the writerAristeidos Oikonomou, Oikonomou was born inVienna,Austria in what was then a part ofAustrian Empire in 1864 and studied and begun his career as an actor. He arrived inGreece in 1900-1901 and begun as a professor at the Dramatic School what was thenRoyal Theatre and (after the separation ofAngelos Vlahos) as a director. He knew the youngMarika Kotopouli who he acted together in an erotic part and became a protagonist of that company. In 1906, he left the Royal Theatre with Marika Kotopouli and worked together at Marika's father's companyDimitris Kotopoulis where he directed and presented the new productions at the Athenian theatre. His luck was crowned by the critics and a loud noise at failed receipts that made Oikonomou in theatrical productions and his works to collapse. From 1918 until 1922, he worked at theAthens Odeum as professor and journalist of the company. Between all students he taught andDimitris Rontiris. His contribution at the Greek theatre as a director and a hypocrite as wellas mainly from the student's spot thought he was fixed. He died in 1927.
