Ted Alford (born February 2, 1971) is a former professional gridiron football wide receiver.
After playing college football at Langston University, he played for seven teams in the Canadian Football League (CFL), including the Edmonton Eskimos, BC Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts, and Calgary Stampeders.
In his rookie season with the BC Lions, Alford became a consistent starter and was nominated for the Most Outstanding Rookie award.
He spent the next several years moving from team to team, playing in only 8 CFL games from 1997 through 2000. In 2001, Alford joined the Toronto Argonauts and had his most successful season, recording 1,172 receiving yards and being named an East Division all-star.
He signed with the Ottawa Renegades in 2002, but returned to the Argonauts shortly afterward.
The Argonauts' signing of Alford without notifying the Renegades sparked a controversy regarding a series of unofficial agreements on the signing of another team's practice squad players.
Alford went on to finish the 2002 season with the Argonauts.
He finished his final CFL season with the Calgary Stampeders in 2004. While not playing with a team in the CFL, Alford spent several stints with the Arkansas Twisters of the af2, where he played as a defensive back in addition to his usual position as a receiver.
