Frederick Speller (1864 – 1940) was an English professional footballer who played as a full back. Born in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, he played for hometown club Great Marlow before signing for Small Heath. He went on to make 93 appearances in the FA Cup, Football Alliance and the Football League for the club in the early days of its history. His career was ended prematurely when he broke his leg in a match against Darwen in 1892, the season when the club won the inaugural Football League Second Division championship. He played a couple of league games a year later but retired from the game in 1894. He died in Birmingham in 1940 aged about 76.
