Theresa "Terry" Wiseman (born 1956) is an English animator and former footballer. She played as a goalkeeper and represented England at senior international level.

Wiseman won 60 caps for England. After a period as understudy to England's original goalkeeper Sue Buckett, Wiseman made her debut on 23 July 1979, in a 2-0 win over Switzerland held in Sorrento, Italy during an unofficial European Championship. Ten years later she made her 50th appearance[1] in a 2-0 home friendly defeat to Sweden. The match was held at Wembley Stadium to mark the 20th anniversary of the Women's Football Association (WFA), played as a curtain-raiser to the male national team's Rous Cup game against Chile. She had played in the penalty shootout defeat to Sweden in the 1984 European Competition for Women's Football final.[2] At club level she played for Tottenham Hotspur's women's section and represented Friends of Fulham in the WFA Cup final. Wiseman won the WFA Cup in 1984 with Howbury Grange.

> People should remember and respect there was a game before 1993, that pioneers built the foundations and paved the way for what is happening now. There were so many talented players, like [Terry] Wiseman (England and Fulham goalkeeper). She was a mentor to me, I learnt so much off her.

— Marieanne Spacey speaking to On the Ball magazine.[3]

In November 2022, Wiseman was recognized by The Football Association as one of the England national team's legacy players, and as the 45th women's player to be capped by England.[4][5]

## Post-football career
