Tom Kostopolous is a Canadian winger on the Carolina Hurricanes.

Kostopolous was drafted by Pittsburgh in 1999, after playing junior hockey in the OHL. He joined the Penguins in 2001, but saw limited playing time with the club. In 2005, after the lockout, he signed with the Los Angeles Kings, where he played 76 games and scored 22 points in back to back seasons, before signing with the Canadiens in 2007. He had one of the better seasons in his career in 2008-09, finishing with 22 points, tying his career high, as well as 106 penalty minutes. However, in the 2009 offseason, the Canadiens made a number of changes to their roster and Kostopoulos was picked up by Carolina for the 2009-10 season.
