Ted Melling was an Australian rules football coach who coached Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

When the incumbent captain-coach, George Holden, injured his knee at the start of the 1919 VFL season, he was restricted to being an off-field coach and after seven games he was replaced by Melling. Under Melling, Fitzroy managed four wins and a draw from their nine games, only narrowly missing out on a place in the finals.
