Timo Antero Tompuri (born 9 June 1969 in Pernå, Finland) is a Finnish discus thrower, who throws for the team Yleisurheilu-Team Sahalahti.

Tompuri started competing in athletics later than most, at the age of 26. He threw the discus more than 60 m for the first time in 1997 and won his first Finnish Championship in the summer of 1998.
