Frank Fredrickson (June 11, 1895 – May 28, 1979) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played for the Victoria Cougars of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Detroit Falcons in the National Hockey League. He was born in Winnipeg

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Fredrickson helped lead the Winnipeg Falcons, the Canadian team which won the gold medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics. He would also help Victoria win the Stanley Cup in 1925. On Dec 21, 1929 Frank Fredrickson was traded from the Boston Bruins to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Mickey MacKay. When the Stanley Cup was redone during the 1957–58 NHL season season his name was engraved on the cup with the 1929 Bruins. This is against an NHL rule. Fredrickson was a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates the day Boston won the cup. This made Fredrickson ineligible to be on the cup with Boston. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1958. He died in Vancouver.
