Tihomir Đuričić (born 21 April 1959) is a Serbian politician from the far-right Serbian Radical Party (SRS). He was born in Odžaci and grew up near Kula. He worked in private business before entering politics and has served in the National Assembly (2004–2007), the Assembly of Vojvodina (2004–2008), and as mayor of Kula from 2004 to 2006.

In 2006 he lost a recall election as mayor, and a by-election followed. During the campaign he was convicted of stealing electricity at his family home and received a suspended three-month jail sentence. He remained active in the SRS, which he had helped lead in Kula since 1999, and continued to run in elections through the 2010s, though he did not win major offices after 2008. After a 2008 split in the Radical Party, Đuričić stayed with the Radicals. He served in a provisional administration in Kula in 2011 after mayor Svetozar Bukvić resigned. After electoral reforms in 2011, mandates were given in numerical order; Đuričić was far down the list in 2012 and was not elected to parliament. He did win a seat in the Kula municipal assembly in 2012, but the Radicals won only two of thirty-seven seats. In 2016, when Vojvodina moved to full proportional representation, Đuričić again failed to win a provincial seat but led the SRS in Kula and won a seat in the local assembly. He then served as an assistant to the mayor on economy, agriculture, and infrastructure, resigning his assembly seat in the process. After local political divisions, the SRS fell below the threshold in the 2018 local election. In 2020 he appeared in 19th place on the SRS list for Vojvodina, but the party did not gain seats.
