Terence Keith Anderson (11 March 1944 - January 1980) was an English professional footballer who played for Arsenal, Norwich City, Colchester United, Baltimore Comets, Scunthorpe United and Bournemouth. He played as a right-winger.

Born in Woking, Anderson began his career with Arsenal, for whom he signed as a professional in 1961. He won caps for the England youth team, before making his first-team debut on March 2, 1963 against West Ham United. However, with other wingers such as George Armstrong, Johnny MacLeod and Alan Skirton at the club, Anderson found first-team opportunities limited; he played only 26 games and scored 7 goals for Arsenal in two years. He joined Norwich in February 1965 and was there for nine years. He was a key member of the team that won the club promotion to the First Division for the first time in the club's history in 1971-72, and that reached the final of the English League Cup in 1973. After leaving Norwich, he had a series of short spells with other clubs.

The exact date of Anderson's death is not known. He went for a training run in Great Yarmouth on 24 January 1980 and was found drowned a week later.
