Edward "Ted" Ryan (born 14 June 1925) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Ryan started out at Oakleigh in the Victorian Football Association, from where he was recruited by Footscray.[2] He appeared in six league games for Footscray, from rounds three to eight, in the 1945 VFL season.[3]

Oakleigh regained Ryan's services in 1946, without him being granted a clearance.[4][5] He was full-back in Oakleigh's 1950 premiership team, a position he was only playing because of an injury to backman Alex Boyle.[5][6] Also that year he was a member of the VFA representative team that played in Canberra in 1950.[7][8] In 1951 he left for Hampden Football League club Mortlake, which he coached for three seasons. He returned to Oakleigh in 1954.[9]
