Edward Ambrose Mellors (10 April 1907 – 7 June 1946) was an English international motorcycle road racer who rode in the Manx Grand Prix in 1927 and the Isle of Man TT from 1928 to 1939.

He was the 350 cc European Champion in 1938, but died in 1946, overcome by exhaust fumes while working in a new home's poorly ventilated garage.

He wanted to be an International motorcycle racer and spent a lot of time riding in the Derbyshire hills.

[2] Mellors designed and patented a rotary valve system in the early 1940s, during World War II.

[2] According to motorcycle racing writer Paul Guthrie, there is evidence that Ted Mellors was in contact with British intelligence agents until at least the end of 1939, and that he was on the Gestapo's "most wanted" list during World War II, although his activities are still unknown.
