Terry Wallace (born December 13, 1958) was an Australian rules football centre position player who started at Hawthorn, played briefly at Richmond and finally at Footscray (Western Bulldogs).

A talented coach, he took the Western Bulldogs from 15th in 1996 to 3rd in 1997 and 1998. Wallace employed a number of novel ideas as coach including warming up the side on the field before the match. Some of his tactics were or are still used by other coaches.

Wallace was linked to the Sydney Swans job in mid-2002 when Rodney Eade was sacked following a narrow round 12 loss to Geelong. But during an interview in late 2002 Wallace was not given the Swans job and it went to then-interim coach Paul Roos by order from fans. Wallace had already resigned as coach of the Bulldogs, sighting that he had taken the list as far forward as possible - while many believe he left simply for money. However it is rumoured he had been given a verbal notification that the Swans would put him on as coach for season 2003. It is also rumoured that the Swans paid Wallace the agreed contracted salary for 2003, even though he was not coaching at all.

In August 2004, he was appointed Senior Coach of Richmond for five years from 2005, replacing Danny Frawley.

The Tigers had a terrible start to 2006, and were written off early in the season with three straight crushing defeats, placing them at the bottom of the ladder. But Wallace turned the team around, winning five out of the next seven games, including a masterful bit of coaching against the Adelaide Crows, who were on top of the AFL ladder at the time. Wallace instructed his 10th placed Tigers to retain possession of the ball at all times, racking up a record high 183 marks in the game and holding off a final quarter fight-back by the Crows to win by 3 points.
