Fred Busse (March 3, 1866July 9, 1914) was the mayor of Chicago, in the U.S. state of Illinois, from 1907 to 1911.

Busse became a local Republican leader, first elected to the Illinois Legislature in 1894, and eventually serving as State Treasurer from 1902. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him Postmaster of Chicago, a political position at that time (see USPS History). He won the 1907 election for mayor against Democratic incumbent Edward F. Dunne. In business, Busse had been Secretary and Treasurer of the Northeastern Coal Company until 1905.

Busse's mayoral tenure is noted for its extensive corruption and presence of organized crime in the city.

He died of valvular heart disease at 48 and was buried in Graceland Cemetery.
