Ted Christopher (Born June 5, 1958), occasionally referred to as "Teddy" Christopher, is an American racing driver who has raced and won in many different types of race cars, including Modifieds, SK Modifieds, ISMA, Camping World East Series, Late Models, Pro Stocks, and Midgets. He has also raced in NASCAR's Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series, and Craftsman Truck Series. He is best known for competing in NASCAR's Whelen Modified Tour, where he has over 40 victories and a championship in 2008. He is also well known for his success on the 1.058 mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway where Christopher has won 5 Camping World East Series events and 5 Whelen Modified Tour events.

Christopher is an aggressive driver, known for his infamous "Three Tap Rule" when passing cars in front of him, though his driving style has changed in recent years and has brought more success to his racing career.

Christopher won the NASCAR Weekly Series national championship in 2001 by winning 15 of the 18 races that he entered, clinching it at Thompson International Speedway in Connecticut.

In 2008, Christopher won the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship. Christopher, who is known as one of the most accomplished drivers in the Northeast, had never won the Whelen Modified Tour championship. He did so in fashion, winning both the championship and the final race of the season at Thompson International Speedway. Christopher came into the race leading the championship standings over Matt Hirschman by 31 points. Late in the race, Hirschman suffered an electrical problem, which put him a handful of laps off the pace. Christopher drove on to win the event, with Hirschman finishing 21 laps down in 25th position. It was his 31st career win in his 12th full-time year of competition.
