Edward David Ordynski (born 21 July 1955) is an Australian former rally driver. He served as Chairman of the Australian Rally Commission (ARCom) in 2007.[1]

Ordynski is best known for his exploits driving Mitsubishi cars. Driving a Galant VR-4, he won the Australian Rally Championship in 1990. He also won the Group N category that year, and went on to win that category three more times (1993, 1994, 1995), driving a Lancer Evolution.[1][2]

Ordynski won the 1995 Mobil 1 Round Australia Trial driving a Holden Commodore (VR)[3] entered by the Mobil Bridgestone Rally Team.[4] He also drove 5.0 Litre Touring Cars in 1995, recording a tenth place in the 1995 Sandown 500,[5] and a retirement in the 1995 Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst in a Holden Commodore (VP).[6]

Away from rallying and motorsport, Ed Ordynski was a Year 5 Primary school teacher at Mitcham Primary School circa 1982.[citation needed] [7]
