Theodore S. Weiss (September 17, 1927 – September 14, 1992) was an American Democratic Party politician who served in the United States House of Representatives for New York from 1977 until his death in 1992.

He grew up in South Amboy, New Jersey.

In 1983, he and seven other representatives sponsored a resolution to impeach Ronald Reagan over his sudden and unexpected invasion of Grenada.

Weiss was known for his avid support of liberal causes, including civil rights, open government, union and workers rights, access to health care, removal of the embargo on Cuba, and the arts.

Weiss was also instrumental in fighting against the U.S. Navy plan to station nuclear submarines in New York harbor and in blocking the proposed Westway highway plan, after decades of opposition.
