Frédéric Mendy (born 29 November 1973) is a French former professional footballer who played as a defender. He played 339 matches in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 for FC Martigues, SC Bastia and Montpellier HSC between 1993 and 2007.

Mendy was born in France, and is of Senegalese descent.[3] When David Ginola collapsed during a charity football match in 2016, Mendy performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which cardiac surgeon Gilles Dreyfus claimed saved Ginola from death or at the least permanent brain damage.[4]
