Teddy Lucic [IPA: 'tɛdʏ 'lʊtɕɪtɕ] (born April 15, 1973 in Biskopsgården, Gothenburg) is a Swedish football defender for IF Elfsborg.

He has played 86 times for his national team, mostly as a full back, but since 2004 also as a centre back. Lucic played in Euro 2004, and the 1994, 2002 and 2006 World Cups. Against Germany, in what turned out to be Sweden's final 2006 World Cup match, he was given two yellow cards by Brazilian referee Carlos Simon, and dismissed from the match in the 35th minute.

At club level, Lucic won a Swedish championship with IFK Göteborg in 1996, and has played abroad in Italy, Germany and England.

Due to his multinational background, Lucic had the option to turn out for two other countries - his mother is Finnish and his father Croatian. Teddy is fluent in Croatian and also speaks some Finnish. He has a summer cottage in Lappeenranta, Finland, and is a fan of Lappeenranta-based first division football team Rakuunat and ice hockey team SaiPaFact|date=September 2007.
