Theodore Allison Nash II (October 29, 1932 to July 3, 2021) was an American competition rower and Olympic champion, who later became a rowing coach and sports administrator. He won a gold medal in the coxless four at the 1960 Summer Olympics and a bronze in the same event in 1964, and took gold medals at the 1959 and 1963 Pan American Games. As a coach he led the University of Pennsylvania from 1965, as head coach from 1969 to 1983, co-founded the National Women's Rowing Association and was involved in eleven Olympic Games between 1960 and 2008.
