'''Thomas Hadden''', commonly known as '''Tommy Hadden''' (fl. 1840–1881), was a New York saloon keeper, crimp and underworld figure. He operated establishments on Cherry and Water streets and was repeatedly accused of robbing and shanghaiing sailors.<ref>[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1870/06/17/87592052.pdf “The Career of a Criminal: ‘Tommy’ Hadden's Numerous Offenses”], ''The New York Times'', June 17, 1870.</ref>

Herbert Asbury identifies Hadden and [[Christopher Keyburn|Kit Burns]] as former leaders of the [[Dead Rabbits]]. Hadden was sentenced to ten years in New Jersey State Prison in 1870; a newspaper report placed him back on the waterfront in 1881.<ref>Herbert Asbury, [https://archive.org/details/the-gangs-of-new-york-herbert-asbury ''The Gangs of New York''] (Alfred A.
