Max Fricke (born 29 March 1996) is an Australian speedway rider who won the Australian Under-21 Championship in 2013 and 2014.

Fricke competed in junior levels of motocross and speedway in Australia, competed in the 2011 and 2012 FIM Youth Gold Cup tournaments, and finished in fourth place in the Australian Under-16 125cc Championship and second in the 125cc Team Championship in January 2012.[1][2][3]

He moved up to senior level in the 2012/13 season. In December 2012 he was signed by Edinburgh Monarchs for their 2013 British Premier League team on a five-point assessed average, having spent the previous two summers in Britain gaining experience.[4][5] In January 2013 he won the Australian Under-21 title, beating Taylor Poole, Justin Sedgmen, and Alex Davies in the final, and becoming the youngest winner of the title since Leigh Adams in 1988.[6][3]
