Frederick 'Fred' Tiedt (16 October 1935 - 15 June 1999, born in Dublin, Ireland) was an amateur and professional boxer. Tiedt won a silver medal for Ireland at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia in the welterweight division. Tiedt beat opponents from Poland, United States and Australia before losing a split decision to Linca of Romania. The following year Tiedt won a bronze medal at the European Amateur Boxing Championships in Prague.
He turned professional in 1959 but his professional career was not as successful as his amateur career with a points victory over Al Sharpe to gain the Irish Welterweight Title the only highlight. Tiedt finished with a record of 12 wins, 7 defeats and 2 ties.
