Theodore Conkey (December 11, 1819 – March 17, 1880) was an American surveyor, businessman, Democratic politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. Working as a surveyor with Albert Gallatin Ellis, he was responsible for many of the early surveys of northern Wisconsin and was one of the earliest settlers of what is now Appleton, Wisconsin. He was an early member of the Wisconsin Senate and Wisconsin State Assembly, representing the 1st Senate district in the 1851 and 1852 terms, and representing Outagamie County in the 1857 Assembly. He also served as a Union Army cavalry officer during the American Civil War.
