Terry Tufts (William Terence Tufts born November 7, 1954 in Port Colborne, Ontario) is a Canadian folk music singer-songwriter.

His father Floyd took a job with the Canadian government in Manpower and Immigration and this job took Terry to Denver, Colorado, U.S.A, Ottawa, Ontario, and Rome, Italy.

After graduating in 1974 from Albert College in Belleville, he moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick to begin working as a full time musician. He later settled in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario working as a session/sideman for a variety of artists, as well as pursuing his own musical career as a singer-songwriter and guitarist.
