Ted Fordham (born 3 May 1940) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was the VFL's leading goalkicker in the 1966 season.
Debuting in 1961, Fordham played as a half-back flanker and follower during the early stages of his career. Later in the 1964 season, he moved to full-forward, under the instruction of John Coleman. He helped Essendon win the premiership the following season with six goals in the preliminary final and then kicked a record-equalling seven goals in the grand final against St Kilda.
