Thomas "Zeke" Zettner (September 21, 1948 - November 10, 1973) was a member of rock band The Stooges. Zettner had originally been a roadie for the band, but replaced original Stooges bassist Dave Alexander after the Fun House album (1970). Alexander's drinking problem had made him an unreliable performer.
Zettner himself was a heroin addict, and did not last long as a member of The Stooges. Jimmy Recca soon replaced him as bass player. Zettner died of a heroin overdose on 10 November 1973. His death is mentioned in Iggy Pop's song "Dum Dum Boys" from The Idiot.
