Theodor Gebre Selassie (Amharic: ገብረ ሥላሴ, Russian: Теодор Гебръе Съеласи; born 24 December 1986) is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a right-back or as wing-back.

Having won the Czech First League with Slavia Prague in 2008 and Slovan Liberec four years later, he signed for Werder Bremen on a four-year contract.

[1][2] Gebre Selassie has a younger sister named Anna, who plays for the Czech Republic women's national handball team.

As his family placed great importance on education, Gebre Selassie later almost abandoned football altogether to concentrate on a university degree.

[1] After playing all four of the Czech Republic's matches at UEFA Euro 2012, Gebre Selassie was signed by Werder Bremen of the German Bundesliga on a four-year deal on 22 June.

[1] On 24 August 2012, he scored a goal in Bremen's first game of the season, heading an equaliser in a 1–2 away loss against reigning champions Borussia Dortmund.

After Werder lost their first five matches of the 2016–17 season, including a first round upset in the DFB-Pokal to third tier Sportfreunde Lotte, resulting in the sacking of Skrypnyk, Gebre Selassie scored a stoppage time winner against Wolfsburg to give the club their first points of the season, after Lennart Thy had equalized five minutes prior in the 2–1 victory.

On 4 June, he became the first player of African descent to play for the country,[14] making his debut as a half-time substitute for Ondřej Kušnír in a goalless draw against Peru at the Kirin Cup at Matsumotodaira Football Stadium in Matsumoto, Japan.

[17] On 5 June, in a warm-up game for UEFA Euro 2016 at the Eden Arena, Gebre Selassie was sent off for two bookings in a 1–2 loss to South Korea.
