Edward "Ted" Stickles (born April 7, 1942 in San Francisco, California) was an American swimmer. He set many swimming records and was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1995. He was inducted into the Indiana University Hall of Fame in 1998.

Stickles swam with Doc Councilman's Indiana University swim team from 1962-1965. At on point during his career, he and his roommate, Hall of Famer Chet Jastremski, held a total of seven world records. Ted broke a total of nine world records in the individual medley in the early-1960s.

His sister, Terri Stickles, was an Olympic swimmer. Unfortunately, Ted developed tendonitis in his elbow and missed making the 1964 Olympic team. They would have been the first brother and sister to make an Olympic team.

Stickles was a swimming coach for the University of Illinois and Louisiana State University. He now resides in Louisiana.
