Tommy Emmanuel (nacido el 31 de mayo de 1955) es un guitarrista australiano, más conocido por su estilo fingerpicking (rasgueo). A través de su carrera, ha tocado con muchos artistas notables incluyendo: Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, sir George Martin y John Denver.
Cuando Tommy toca la guitarra, parece que sean dos guitarristas a la vez, sin embargo, es el estilo característico de su sonido: mientras mantiene una línea de bajos con su pulgar (normalmente esta es su forma de tocar: usando un thumbpick) toca la melodía con sus dedos índice
