Frederick Hurrell Read (26 December 1855  - 4 May 1933) was an English cricketer. Read's batting style is unknown. He was born at Thames Ditton, Surrey.

Read made a single first-class appearance for Surrey against Nottinghamshire in 1881 at The Oval.[1] Surrey won the toss and elected to bat, making 293 all out, with Read being dismissed for 4 runs by William Attewell. Nottinghamshire responded in their first-innings by making 109 all out, with Surrey making them follow-on in their second-innings, with Nottinghamshire being dismissed in that innings for 162. Surrey won by an innings and 22 runs.[2] This was his only major appearance for Surrey.

He died at Hounslow, Middlesex, on 4 May 1933. His brother, Maurice, played Test cricket for England, with Read appearing alongside him against Nottinghamshire in 1881. His uncle Heathfield Stephenson, also played first-class cricket.
