Theodore "Teddy" Pilette (born 26th July 1942, in Brussels, Belgium) is a Belgian former racing driver.

Like his father André and grandfather Théodore, Teddy Pilette would race at the highest level of Grand Prix racing by competing in Formula One.

Pilette would take part in two Grands Prix in 1976, but both races would end with the Belgian sat in the gravel. Particularly notorious would be the Belgian Grand Prix, where after spinning out - Pilette refused to give up on competing in front of his home crowd, spending 6 laps getting out of the first corner gravel trap, earning a disqualification for his trouble.

He would later become principal of the Gillet ENB team.
