Eduardo Teus López-Navarro, also known as Teus (6 November, 1896 – 8 October, 1958) was a Filipino professional footballer who played for Real Madrid as a goalkeeper.

Teus was born in Manila, Philippines in 1896 to a Filipino family who were of mixed native and Spanish origin. He won 3 Catalan Spanish league and 1 Copa del Rey championship titles for the club.

At the top of his career, he was forced to retire from football after he suffered a serious injury in a game during the 1918-1919 season. He later became a successful sports journalist and was later tasked by Francisco Franco to manage the Spain national football team as head coach. He managed the national team from 1941 to 1942, playing a total of six international games, of which he won three, and lost only one and drew two.

In 1958, Teus died of a stroke while watching a game at the press box of the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao in Spain.
