Frederick Roberts, I conte Roberts (Cawnpore, 1832 - Saint-Omer, 1914), è stato un generale britannico. Proveniente da una famiglia di militari, si distinse già in gioventù per coraggio e la tenacia, che gli valsero durante la rivolta dei sepoys la Victoria Cross. Fu uno dei più importanti ed abili generali britannici in Età vittoriana: guidò con successo le sue truppe nella seconda guerra anglo-afghana, nel corso della quale condusse la famosa marcia su Kandahar, e soprattutto ristabilì con una serie di vittorie la situazione a favore dell'Impero britannico nel corso della seconda guerra boera. Ricoprì la carica di feldmaresciallo e comandante in capo del British Army. Book.
