Terrell Croft (born 1880) was a US engineer and author of technical books on electrical and mechanical subjects, most or all of which were published by McGraw-Hill. Titles include Wiring of Finished Buildings (1915), Electrical Machinery; Principles, Operations, and Management (1917), and Steam Engine Principles and Practice (1922).[1]

Between 1913 and 1924, Croft appears to have resided in University City, Missouri.[2] He was a consulting engineer, operating his own firm, Terrell Croft Engineering Company. He was a member of ASME, AIEE, ASTM, and ASHVE.]][3]

Croft's most successful book is the American Electricians' Handbook (1913). This book is still in print, in its fourteenth edition (2002), by McGraw-Hill. The current edition is edited by Wilford I. Summers. Croft's name still appears on the cover, and several illustrations from the first edition are retained.
