Frederick Samuel "Freddie" Fox (22 November 1898 - 15 May 1968) was an English football goalkeeper.
He played for several clubs, including Gillingham (where he played over 100 Football League matches) and Brentford during the 1920s and 1930s, and also gained one cap for England.
In 1925 he was selected to represent England against France. Following an earlier withdrawal by goalscorer Vivian Gibbins, England finished with nine men, but managed to hang on to win the game 3-2.
Later in life, Fox served as a director at hometown club Swindon Town.
