Ted Eugene ("Teddy") Brewerton (born 1925) is an emeritus general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Born in Raymond, Alberta, Canada, Brewerton went on a mission for the LDS Church to Uruguay from 1949 to 1952. Upon returning to Alberta, he married Dorothy Hall, also a native of Raymond. Brewerton was trained in pharmacy at the University of Alberta.

From 1965 to 1968, Brewerton was the president of the LDS Church mission headquartered in Costa Rica. Brewerton had jurisdiction over the church in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela. During his time as mission president the church received official recognition from the government of Panama, and was able to begin LDS missionary work in the San Blas Islands. [David R. Crockett, [http://www.crockettclan.org/wws/panama.html History of LDS Church in Panama] .]

In 1968, the Brewertons moved to Calgary, Alberta, where Brewerton practiced pharmacy. In 1976, Brewerton was honored by the Alberta Pharmaceutical Association as “the most outstanding pharmacist in community service outside the profession”.

Brewerton served in the church as a bishop and as a regional representative of the Twelve. In 1978, he became a general authority and a member of the First Quorum of Seventy. From 1989 to 1990 he was a counselor to Hugh W. Pinnock in the general presidency of the church's Sunday School organization. As a general authority, Brewerton was the first president of the Central American Area of the church.

In 1995, Brewerton was designated an emeritus general authority and was released from active duties. From 1997 to 1999, Brewerton was the president of the México City México Temple of the church.
