Ted Gup (born September 14, 1950) is the Eugene Lang Visiting Professor on Issues of Social Change at Swarthmore College.

In the 1992 Washington Post Magazine article "The Ultimate Congressional Hideaway,"[3] Gup was the first to reveal publicly [4] the existence of Project Greek Island, a large underground bunker at West Virginia's famed Greenbrier Resort to house the Congress of the United States in case of a nuclear attack on Washington, D.C., a revelation still considered controversial two decades after its publication.

[5] Those opposed to the revelation note that the exposure rendered the $14,000,000 ($123,382,792 by current standards) taxpayer-funded bunker useless and led to its decommissioning.

"[5] Gup, a 1968 graduate of Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio,[6] was a reporter for The Washington Post and Time Magazine prior to his work in academia.

His 2010 book, A Secret Gift, much unlike anything else he had ever written, chronicles the Christmastime 1933 anonymous charitable efforts of his Romanian Orthodox Jewish grandfather, Sam Stone, to help families in Canton, Ohio affected by the Great Depression.
