Frederick Tate (6 June 1844 – 24 April 1935) was an English cricketer. Tate was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm roundarm fast.

Tate made his first-class debut for Hampshire in 1870 against Lancashire. On debut Tate took his only first-class five wicket haul, taking career best figures of 6/63 in Lancashire's first innings. Tate played two matches in 1870, with his second coming against Lancashire.

In 1872, Tate played two non first-class matches for Huntingdonshire, both against Bedfordshire, where in the first fixture, Tate took five wickets in Bedfordshire's first innings. During this period, Tate was a cricket coach at Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1873, Tate began a long engagement with Richmond Cricket Club, Surrey.

Six years after his final appearance for Hampshire, Tate returned in 1876 to play for the county in two first-class matches against Derbyshire and finally Kent. In his four first-class matches, Tate took 13 wickets at a bowling average of 11.30.
