Todd Benjamin Heap (born March 16, 1980) is a former American football tight end.

After playing college football for Arizona State University, he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft. Heap played ten years for the Ravens, becoming the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown catches and second all-time in receptions and yards. He was released in 2011 and played two years for the Arizona Cardinals.

At Mountain View High School, in Mesa, Arizona, he was Mountain 5A Player of the Year. In the state championship game, he threw a 26-yard touchdown pass.

Heap played college football at Arizona State University, majoring in pre-business. His 115 receptions broke the school record for tight ends, previously held by Ken Dyer.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Heap with the 31st overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft. Through the end of the 2009 NFL season he has played 120 total career games, starting 115.

Heap recorded 16 receptions for 206 yards and one touchdown in his rookie season, playing behind eight-time Pro-Bowler Shannon Sharpe. He became the starting tight end for the Ravens in 2002 after Sharpe left in free agency. The Ravens were 7-9 in Heap's second season. He caught 68 passes for 836 yards and 6 touchdowns and was voted to his first Pro Bowl. The following season in 2003, Heap garnered 57 receptions for 693 yards and 3 touchdowns, despite the Ravens having a run-first offense, behind the record breaking 2066-yard rushing season of Jamal Lewis. Heap was again voted to the Pro Bowl as the Ravens won the AFC North division for the first time. Heap had 6 receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans.
