Frederick Alfred William Freer (4 December 1915, North Carlton, Victoria – 2 November 1998, Melbourne, Victoria) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test in 1946. He was a fast-medium bowler more accuarte than Keith Miller. He was called into the team for the Second Test in Sydney after Ray Lindwall was struck down by chickenpox. In the first innings he bowled Cyril Washbrook for 1 and appealed for lbw against Len Hutton in the first ball of the second innings. It was turned down, but Freer had the wickets of Denis Compton - caught by Don Bradman - and bowled Jack Ikin. When batting Australia wanted runs and he hit 3 fours and a 6 in his 28 not out, the only time he batted for Australia. Lindwall recovered in time for the next match, and Freer was dropped.
