Edward William "Ted" Mattner (16 September 1893 – 21 December 1977) was an Australian politician. Born in Oakbank, South Australia, he was educated at Adelaide High School and then the University of Adelaide before becoming a farmer at Balhannah. He served in the military 1914-1918 and 1940-1942. In 1944, he was appointed to the Australian Senate as a United Australia Party Senator for South Australia, filling the casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Oliver Uppill.
