Theodore ( Ted ) Wilbur Anderson ( born June 5, 1918 in Minneapolis ) is an American mathematician with an emphasis on statistics and analysis of multivariate data.

He was born on June 5, 1918 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 1946 was a Guggenheim fellow and taught from 1946 at Columbia University until 1967, he moved to Stanford University. In 1988 he retired. He was the editor of the Annals of Mathematical Statistics from 1950 to 1952 and director of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1962.

He became known through the Anderson - Darling test, which checks whether a given set of data with a given probability distribution matches. This he had described along with Donald Allan Darling in 1952 for the first time.
