Frederick Ernest Froude (3 July 1910 - 16 June 1978) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and coached St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Although Froude played most of his career as a half back flanker, he started as a forward and kicked 30 goals in the 1931 VFL season.
He played in five grand finals for three premierships; 1930, 1935 and 1936.
In 1948, nine years after retiring, Froude returned to the VFL as coach of St Kilda.
