Frederick Tate (6 June 1844 — 24 April 1935) was an English professional first-class cricketer.

The son of Thomas Turner Tate, he was born at Lyndhurst in June 1844. Having played club cricket for both Southgate Cricket Club and Lyndhurst,[1] he made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Lancashire at Old Trafford in 1870.[2] On debut, he took a five wicket haul in Lancashire first innings with figures of 6 for 63.[3] Tate played later that season against Lancashire in the return fixture at Southampton.[2] Having spent four seasons as cricket coach for Trinity College, Cambridge, Tate began his association with Richmond Cricket Club in 1873.[3] He returned to play two first-class matches for Hampshire in 1876, against Derbyshire and Kent.[2] With his roundarm fast bowling, he took 13 wickets in first-class cricket at an average of 11.30.[4] He was noted by Wisden as being "a safe field, usually in the slips or at point".[3] In addition to playing, Tate also stood as an umpire in a single first-class match between Hampshire and Sussex at Hove in 1881.[5] Tate died at Lyndhurst in April 1935.[3] His brother, Henry, also played first-class cricket.
