Delores E. Teutsch (born September 9, 1935) is a former American politician who served as a member of the Washington House of Representatives from 1979 to 1983. She represented Washington's 45th legislative district as a Republican.[1] In the 1981 to 1983 term, she served as chair of the Higher Education Committee.[2]

In 1993, governor Mike Lowry appointed Teutsch, along with Hubert Locke and Ruth Coffin Schroeder, to a Citizens Commission on Government Ethics and Campaign Finance Reform to review potential problems in the Public Disclosure Commission's investigation of illegal campaigning.[3]

Outside the legislature, she was affiliated with the Washington Athletic Club and the Business and Professional Women's Club and served on the Board of Trustees of Bellevue Community College.[2]
