Theodore Newell Wood (July 10, 1909 – October 18, 1982) was an American politician from Pennsylvania who served as a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate for the 20th district^[1] from 1947 to 1978.^[2]

Wood was born in Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania. He served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate for the 20th district from 1947 to 1978 and for four years as Luzerne County Commissioner. He was also a businessman who worked as chairman of the board of Kingston National Bank and President of Pressed Steel Company in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.^[3]

From 1952 to 1956, Wood hosted the Brynfan Tyddyn Road Race around his estate in Pennsylvania.^[4] Brynfan Tyddyn is Welsh for "large farm on a hilltop" and the race consisted of 10 laps around a 3.5 mile course around the estate.^[3] The race was discontinued in 1957 after a fatal accident and officials determined the course was too dangerous and difficult for participants and spectators to reach.^[5]

In 1979, Wood testified at the bribery trial of U.S. Congressman Daniel Flood that $4,000 in stock given to Flood was a gift for his friendship and not a bribe to assist in the merger of banks that Wood was facilitating.^[6]

Wood died on October 18, 1982, and is interred at Fern Knoll Burial Park in Dallas, Pennsylvania.^[7]
