Frederick Feigl (c. 1867 − 10 December 1933) was an American publisher, and a military officer.[1] He was the publisher of The Tammany Times (later renamed The Political Review), a weekly magazine which carried various departments such as social news and a women's section, but was primarily devoted to the defence of Tammany Hall.[2][1] He was born and educated in Texas, and became a reporter on The Houston Post, moving to New York in 1892. He became managing editor of Texas Siftings, a humor magazine. In 1898 he married Jane Mauldin.[1]

He enlisted with the Texas National Guard and saw service with the Texas Rangers on the Mexican frontier. In World War I he became chief of the Bureau of Special Service, a branch of the New York city police that arrested people considered disloyal. His son, Jeff Feigl, was the first American artillery officer killed in World War I.[1]
