Thomas Greenfield Mitchell is an American medical mycologist, clinical microbiologist, and academic. He is an Associate Professor Emeritus in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Duke University.

Mitchell's research uses DNA-based methods to identify fungal pathogens, resolve taxonomic issues, and study the population genetics and virulence factors of ''Candida albicans'' and ''Cryptococcus neoformans''. His work is focused on correlating genotypes with clinically relevant phenotypes, including drug resistance, in immunocompromised patients, with publications in journals such as the ''Journal of Clinical Microbiology'', ''Analytical Chemistry'', and ''Molecular Ecology''. His work has been cited in notable studies, including one conducted by researchers from the Tri-Institutional Molecular Mycology and Pathogenesis Training Program.

Mitchell is a Fellow of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Academy of Microbiology, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Provided by Wikipedia
