Jaan Tomp (10 September 1894 in Tuhalaane Parish (now Mulgi Parish), Kreis Fellin – 14 November 1924 in Tallinn) was an Estonian communist, politician, and member of the Riigikogu. He began his legislative career in 1922, when he replaced Adolf Leevald in the I Riigikogu.[1] The chairman of the Central Council of the Workers' Unions of Estonia (Estonian: Eestimaa Töölisühingute Üldliidu Kesknõukogu), he was sentenced to death at the Trial of the 149.[2][3]
Following his execution, some Soviet factories and clubs were named after Tomp.[4] During the Soviet era, Tallinn's House of the Blackheads was a "culture palace" initially named after Jaan Tomp (and later renamed after the communist Jaan Kreuks).[5]
