We present far- and near-ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy of the $\sim$23Myr edge-on debris disk surrounding the A0V star $\eta$ Telescopii, obtainedwith the Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. We detectabsorption lines from C I, C II, O I, Mg II, Al II, Si II, S II, Mn II, Fe II,and marginally N I. The lines show two clear absorption components at$-22.7\pm0.5$ km s$^{-1}$ and $-17.8\pm0.7$ km s$^{-1}$, which we attribute tocircumstellar (CS) and interstellar (IS) gas, respectively. CO absorption isnot detected, and we find no evidence for star-grazing exocomets. The CSabsorption components are blueshifted by $-16.9\pm2.6$ km s$^{-1}$ in thestar's reference frame, indicating that they are outflowing in a radiativelydriven disk wind. We find that the C/Fe ratio in the $\eta$ Tel CS gas issignificantly higher than the solar ratio, as is the case in the $\beta$ Picand 49 Cet debris disks. Unlike those disks, however, the measured C/O ratio inthe $\eta$ Tel CS gas is consistent with the solar value. Our analysis showsthat because $\eta$ Tel is an earlier type star than $\beta$ Pic and 49 Cet,with more substantial radiation pressure at the dominant C II transitions, thisspecies cannot bind the CS gas disk to the star as it does for $\beta$ Pic and49 Cet, resulting in the disk wind.
