Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs (30 October 1876 – 7 June 1938) was an English etcher, architectural draughtsman, illustrator, and early conservationist, associated with the late flowering of the Arts and Crafts movement in the Cotswolds, centered in Chipping Campden.
He was one of the first etchers to be elected to full membership of the Royal Academy. Born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, he worked as an illustrator for the Highways and Byways series of regional guides for the publishers, Macmillans.
In 1903 he settled at Dover's House, in the market town of Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, and went on to create one of the last significant Arts and Crafts houses at 'New Dover's House'.
There he set up the Dover's House Press, where he printed late proofs of the etchings of Samuel Palmer, amongst others.
He collaborated with Ernest Gimson and the Sapperton group of craftsmen in architectural and design work in the area.
