Tony Melville Ridley CBE (10 November 1933 – March 2026) was a British civil engineer and academic. He worked as a design and site engineer in the US and Britain before becoming chief research officer of the highways and transport department of the Greater London Council. He became director-general of the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive in 1969 where he oversaw the development of plans for the Tyne and Wear Metro. In 1975 he was appointed managing director of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation. Ridley was later chief executive of London Underground, but resigned following the King's Cross fire in 1987 and subsequent publication of the Fennell Report. He was also a director of engineering consultancy Halcrow Fox. He was president of the Institution of Civil Engineers from March 1995 to November 1996.
