Thomas Lennox is a fictional character from the television series 24, played by Peter MacNicol. He first appeared in the first episode of 24's 6th season, where he plays the White House Chief of Staff of President Wayne Palmer. Prior to serving as White House Chief of Staff, Lennox served as Policy Director on both Wayne & David Palmers' Presidential Campaigns. Thomas Lennox is a former member of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, He also serves on the boards of the Georgetown Institute, the James P. Williams Center for Public Affairs, and the Catalyn Foundation. He has published numerous articles and essays on topics including constitutional law, political philosophy, and public policy, and has co-edited several books.

Both Sandra and the late David Palmer are reputed to have disliked Lennox, as he is willing to go beyond the boundaries of the Constitution when matters of national security arise. This is evident in hour 6 of Day 6. Karen Hayes learned that Lennox set up more radical defensive measures without the President's authorization, and confronts him. Lennox gets tired of Karen's persistence and asks an associate to make Karen "...go away." Later in the hour, Lennox blackmails Karen into resigning, stating "...I need room to work." Faced with the evidence, Karen does indeed step down within the hour, and Lennox is shown in the preview for episode 8 using her resignation as an opportunity to convince the President to sign off on the more extreme measures.
