Theo de Raadt (born 1968) is a software engineer presently living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He is the founder and leader of the OpenBSD and OpenSSH projects.

De Raadt is noted for his uncompromising and confrontational manner, which has contributed to several disputes within the Open Source community, most notably his dispute with the NetBSD core team which led to the formation of OpenBSD.

He is notorious for stating his opinions regardless of what anyone else might think or any consequences. A multi-million-dollar US Department of Defense grant to OpenBSD was cancelled following Theo's comments in a radio interview on the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq.
