Ted Fidge (born 7 June 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Fidge, recruited from St Peter's, started his VFL career in 1982, when he played nine games.[1] A forward, Fidge made another nine appearances in 1983, then did not feature at all in the 1984 season, but was a member of the Melbourne reserves premiership team.[1][2] He kicked 27 goals for Melbourne in 1985, from 15 games, which saw him finish second in their goalkicking.[1] In 1986 he played eight games and missed an entire season again in 1987.[1] He made only one appearance in 1988 but it was memorable, as he was reported for striking Collingwood player Darren Millane, for which he got a six-week suspension.[3] It would be Fidge's last game for Melbourne as he was delisted at the end of the season after undergoing a groin operation.[4]
He captain-coached Sale in the 1989 and 1990 Latrobe Valley Football League seasons.[5] The club finished third both times.[5]
His younger brother John Fidge also played for Melbourne.[6]
