Frederick Charles Eden (8 March 1864 – 15 July 1944) was an English church architect and designer.

Frederick Eden was born in Brighton, Sussex, England.[1] He was the son of Frederick Morton Eden and Louisa Ann Parker.[2]

Eden was a pupil and later assistant of George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. Subsequently he started his own architectural practice. He increasingly concentrated on designing church fittings and stained glass.[3] In 1908, he remodelled the interior of St Paul's Church in Oxford.[4] In 1910, he established a studio in Red Lion Square, London.

Eden was a member of the Art Workers Guild.[1] There are drawings by Eden in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum.[5]
