Theodorus Bailey (1805–77) was a Union naval officer in the American Civil War. He was born in Chateaugay, New York, and joined the navy as a midshipman at age 13. His early service included two circumnavigations of the globe by the age of 31. Bailey received his first command during the Mexican War (1846‒48).

In April 1862, he was promoted to second-in-command of the West Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron, where he served under Flag Officer David G. Farragut in the capture of New Orleans. Three months later, he was commissioned commodore and given command of the East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron guarding the Florida coast. His forces captured 150 ships and attacked many Confederate ports. At the end of the war he was assigned to the Portsmouth Navy Yard and commissioned a rear admiral.
