Roy Clifton Fredericks (born 11 November 1942, Blairmont, British Guiana, died 5 September 2000, New York, U.S.) was a West Indian cricketer who played from 1968 to 1977.

He was an opening batsman for the West Indies in both Test cricket and one day cricket, and made 4334 in a career spanning only nine years. ODIs were not very popular in Fredericks' time, and subsequently he only appeared in 12 matches, making 311 runs.

At the county level, he represented Glamorgan in English domestic cricket and, at the national level, British Guiana and Guyana. He also represented the West Indies. He emerged as a batsman who solved the West Indian selectors dilemma about a reliable opening partnership that was settled by himself and Gordon Greenidge in the mid-1970s. He was an aggressive batsman who liked to counterattack fast bowlers, but also was capable as a traditional accumulator of runs also. His highest innings score was 169 against Australia.

Fredericks was Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1974.

He was appointed the minister of Sport in Guyana in the Forbes Burnham regime. [http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/10/14/stories/1314128g.htm]
