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,[1] and also gained one cap for England.[3]

In 1925 he was selected[2] 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.[4]

Later in life, Fox served as a director at hometown club Swindon Town.[5]
