Fred Berry (13 February 1910 – 2 January 1989) was an English cricketer. He played 47 first-class matches for Surrey between 1934 and 1939 as an enterprising lower-order batter and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.[1]

Berry's obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack states that he "was perhaps not always given the chances he needed".[2] He was a heavy scorer and consistent wicket-taker for Surrey's second eleven in the Minor Counties Championship, but only in 1938, when he played 21 first-class matches, was he a regular in the first team.[3]
