Tim Ward (born February 28, 1987 in Waukesha, Wisconsin) is an American soccer defender who currently plays for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.

Ward, who can play any position on defense and also in defensive midfield, trained with the United States Under-17 team at the Bradenton Academy from 2002 to 2004. Following his graduation, he played a year of college soccer at Saint Louis University, starting 18 games for the Billikens, and being named second-team All-Conference USA. However, he left after his freshman season to sign a Generation adidas contract with MLS, whereupon he was selected 12th overall in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft by the MetroStars, who acquired the pick by trading Cornell Glen to FC Dallas. Ward acquitted himself well in his rookie season, especially with his runs and crosses from the left back spot. After the year, he was traded to the Crew for Chris Henderson.

Ward has played for various youth United States national teams, and was part of the Under-20 team at the 2005 World Youth Championship. He had to miss the tournament due to an injury. Ward also was a member of the Under-20 team at the 2007 World Youth Championship. A lock starter for the team entering the tournament, Ward played only sparingly after a poor performance in the opening match.

He was traded to Colorado from Columbus on February 27, 2008 for Nicolas Hernández.
