Frederick Albert Baring (15 December 1890 - 10 December 1961) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the VFL during the early 1900s. In 1997 he was named at fullback in Essendon's official 'Team of the Century'.

A premiership player with the Bombers four times, Baring started his career as a ruckman and ended it as a fullback. He kicked the sealer in the 1912 Grand Final and captained Essendon for the 1918 season. In 1913 he won a W. S. Crichton Medal for Essendon's Best and fairest player. He was a VFL interstate representative at the 1911 Adelaide Carnival.

Baring was also a successful cricketer and played Sheffield Shield matches for Victoria. A right-handed batsman, he managed a total of 30 first-class matches between 1911/12 and 1928/29, scoring 1846 runs at 32.96. He came close to playing Test cricket for Australia after being named in their squad to tour South Africa but the series was canceled due to World War Two.
