Frederick I (1287 – 1336) was marquess of Saluzzo from 1330 until his death.

He was the eldest son of Manfred IV of Saluzzo by his first wife, Beatrice of Savoy, daughter of Amadeus V of Savoy. He was overlooked by his father, who appointed his younger brother, the daughter of Isabella Doria, Manfred, as his successor. A civil war broke out on the elder Manfred's death in 1330 and for two year the brother fought each other over the margravial throne. With the help of the intercession of his cousin, Amadeus VI of Savoy, he was recognised as sole margrave on July 29, 1332. He was only margrave for four years before he died and was succeeded by his son, Thomas.
