Edward Stacey "Ted/Tedd" Pierce III (12 August 1906 - 19 February 1972) was an American writer, animator, voice actor, and artist. Pierce spent the majority of his career as a writer for the Warner Bros. "Termite Terrace" animation studio, working alongside fellow luminaries such as Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese.

In addition, in a few cartoons containing Jones' Hubie and Bertie, Bertie's voice was Pierce.
