Frederick Louis le Roux (5 February 1882 – 22 September 1963) was a South African cricketer.[1]

Le Roux was born in Somerset East, Cape Colony.[2] He was in a pool of players for consideration for the 1912 Triangular Tournament in England, but was not selected by the committee to travel.[3] He played in his only Test match in February 1914, during England's tour to South Africa. He scored just one run in his two innings and bowled nine overs without taking a wicket. He also captained Transvaal in domestic cricket for several seasons.[4] [5] He died, aged 81, in Durban, Natal.
