Ed Welch (born October 22 1947) is an English television composer. His projects include the themes to Blockbusters, Knightmare, One Foot in the Grave, That's My Dog and The Hoobs. He could be compared to the American television composer, Edd Kalehoff.

In 1982, Welch composed music for Television South West (TSW) idents and the local news programme. Welch adapted fairy tales and wrote the scripts for the children's cartoon series, Wolves, Witches and Giants, which ran from 1995 to 1999. He is credited for the music in the 2001 cartoon series, Binka, and in 2004, he composed a piece of music for Liberal Democrat, Mike Treleaven. He writes the songs for the new format of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, including Engine Roll Call, which is based on the catchy theme tune created by Robert Hartshorne.

Strangly, Welch is credited as a co-writer of the 1995 Icelandic entry to the Eurovision Song Contest (with Björgvin Halldórsson).
