Frederick Henry Herbert (1865–1914) was an architect practicing in Toronto, Ontario, during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Several buildings that he designed have survived into the 21st century and have been registered as significant heritage properties. He was one of the city's best-known practitioners specializing in residential architecture at the close of the 19th century.

Herbert moved to Toronto in 1887. According to the Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada, "He was born in Bath, England, but no information can be found on his early education or training there."

Herbert designed close to 150 buildings over the course of his career.
