Ted Brocklebank (born 24 September 1942, St. Andrews) is a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP), the rural affairs spokesman of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, and a member of the party's Shadow Cabinet.

Brocklebank was previously a journalist and a television producer, having been Head of News and Current Affairs at Grampian Television. He stood for the Fife North East constituency in the 1999 election for the Scottish Parliament, coming second to Liberal Democrat Iain Smith. This was repeated in the 2003 election, although the Conservatives' share of the vote increased. This time however, Brocklebank was elected through the regional list for Mid Scotland and Fife.
