Frederick Frazier is an American politician and former police officer from Texas who is the Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 61, serving since 2023.[1] During the campaign he was endorsed by former president Donald Trump and was charged with impersonating a public servant.[2]

Frazier was an active member of the Dallas Police Department until submitting his resignation in December 2023,[3] the timing of which seems likely prompted by the criminal proceedings around an incident in 2022 involving tampering with the campaign signage of Frazier's primary opponent, Paul Chabot,[4] and for which Frazier received the aforementioned charges of impersonating a public servant.

Frazier was defeated by Keresa Richardson by 68% to 32% on May 28, 2024, in the Republican primary runoff for the Texas House of Representatives for the 61st District.[5]
