Reopen Last Closed Tab in Safari (macOS)

Press Shift + Command + T to reopen the tab that was closed last.

What it does

Each press reopens one more tab, going back in the order they were closed. The same command is in the History menu as Reopen Last Closed Tab, beside a list of recently closed tabs and windows to pick from. Tabs closed in a Private window cannot be reopened, because Safari keeps no record of them.
