Nicolaas Leonard "Ted" Zegwaard (1903 – ?) was a Dutch boxer who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics.
He was born as the youngest child of Nicolaas Leonard Zegwaard, a diamond cutter in Amsterdam, and Hendrika Margaretha Langelaan.[2]
In 1920 he was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the flyweight class. In the first round he won his fight against Frederic Virtue but he lost his next bout to the upcoming bronze medalist William Cuthbertson.[1]
Zegwaard became professional some time after the Olympics.[1] In September 1926 he moved to Australia.[1][2] In March 1931 he returned to Amsterdam from Sydney, listing boxer as his profession, but in December 1935, now a worstelaar ("wrestler"), he left again to Sydney.[1][3] Not able to obtain permanent residence or citizenship, he eventually moved to South Africa.[1] In his later career he also went by the name "Jan van Houten".[1][4]
