Theodore Michael Haik, Jr., known as Ted Haik (born April 8, 1945), is an attorney in New Iberia, Louisiana, who was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1976 to 1996. He represented House District 49, which includes portions of Iberia, St. Mary, and Vermilion parishes. He is the older brother of U.S. District Judge Richard T.

Of Lebanese descent, Haik was born in New Iberia to Theodore Haik, Sr., and the former Margaret Hannie, both deceased. He graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and holds the Juris Doctor degree from the Roman Catholic-affiliated Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. He is a former captain in the Louisiana Army National Guard. He is a graduate too of the military law course at the University of Virginia.
