Thomas Christian Sneum (21 May 1917 Fanø - 3 February 2007 Roskilde) was a Danish flight officer who was among the first British agents in Denmark during World War II. His most spectacular achievement was when, in 1941, he photographed two German Freya radar stations on Fanø. In the night of 21–22 June 1941 he and pilot made a spectacular escape from Denmark to Great Britain in a D.H. Hornet Moth. This would later inspire Ken Follett to write his novel Hornet Flight.

has abstract	Thomas Christian Sneum est un pilote danois né le 21 mai 1917 à Fanø, au Danemark. Il meurt le 3 février 2007 à Roskilde. Il recueillit des informations sur le radar allemand Freya qui avait été installé dans son île d'origine au Danemark. Dans la nuit du 21 au 22 juin 1941, il s'échappa spectaculairement du Danemark vers la Grande-Bretagne avec le pilote dans un . Il fut source d'embarrassement pour le gouvernement danois en montrant que les Danois pouvaient se battre contre les Nazis, alors que le gouvernement prétendait que c'était impossible. Il n'y eut donc pas reçu de reconnaissance officielle ou de remerciement pour son effort, seulement une opposition. Le livre The Hornet's Sting est un compte rendu approfondi de la vie de Sneum et de son rôle dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Sneum stated he had planned to assassinate Heinrich Himmler in February 1941 with a longbow from a room in Hotel d'Angleterre, but the plan was, however, cancelled when Himmler failed to appear publicly.
