Ted Engstrom (1916–2006) war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Leiter und Autor, der viele Jahre lang an der Spitze von Youth for Christ und World Vision International stand. Bekannt wurde er als Pionier christlicher Leiterschaft, der betriebswirtschaftliche Professionalität und finanzielle Integrität mit weltweitem humanitärem Engagement verband. Für Bibelleser steht er heute für einen Glauben, der organisatorische Verantwortung, ethische Führung und praktische Nächstenliebe miteinander verknüpft.
