Terry Lee Landrum (born October 25, 1954) is a former professional baseball player who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) primarily as an outfielder from 1980 to 1988.
Landrum was born in Joplin, Missouri. He graduated from Highland High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Landrum hit the game-winning home run for the Baltimore Orioles in the final game of the 1983 American League Championship Series. He was a very late addition to the Orioles post-season roster, and such an unlikely hero that teammate John Lowenstein joked that he was not sure of Landrum's first name.
Landrum also played well in the 1985 National League Championship Series and 1985 World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals, subbing for an injured Vince Coleman. He hit well over .300 in the postseason and had a home run in game four of the World Series. In between, Landrum played winter ball with the Cardenales de Lara club of the Venezuelan League during three seasons spanning 1981–1983.
In addition, Landrum played for the West Palm Beach Tropics and the St. Petersburg Pelicans of the Senior Professional Baseball Association in the 1989 and 1990 seasons, respectively. After that, he played in the Mexican League with the Charros de Jalisco in 1991.
