Theodore H. "Ted" Osborne was an American writer of comics, radio shows, and animated films, remembered for his contributions to the creation and refinement, during the 1930s, of Walt Disney cartoon characters.

Ted Osborne spent a decade (1931–1940) at the Walt Disney Animation Studios as a story writer and, between 1932 and 1937, wrote the Mickey Mouse newspaper dailies and Silly Symphonies Sunday comics.

These were illustrated by Floyd Gottfredson and Al Taliaferro respectively. With Taliaferro, Osborne has been credited as the co-creator of Huey, Dewey, and Louie and they wrote a number of adaptations of Silly Symphony animated shorts, including 1934's The Wise Little Hen and 1936's Three Little Wolves.

Osborne wrote many of the celebrated Mickey Mouse daily strip adventures which were later adapted into the popular Big Little Books of the 30's and 40's ("Pirate Submarine", "The Seven Ghosts", "Oscar the Ostrich", "Race For Riches", "Mickey Mouse Runs His Own Newspaper", and several others). He was succeeded by quality writers, such as Merrill de Maris and Bill Wright.

In late 1937, Osborne was moved back to the Story Department to work on Bambi, a feature film project that was ultimately released in 1942, two years after he left the studio. He also worked with Frank Churchill to conceive songs for Alice in Wonderland, though their material was never used.

After Osborne left Disney, he managed a photographic studio in Hollywood. He died in San Mateo County, California.
