The Honourable Frederick ("Freddie") Somerset Gough Calthorpe (27 May 1892 in London – 19 November 1935 in Worplesdon, Surrey) was an English cricketer who played for Sussex, Cambridge University, Warwickshire and England.

Calthorpe captained England in his only four Test matches: on the first ever Test tour of the West Indies in 1929/30, which was drawn 1-1. This tour was played simultaneously to another England Test tour to New Zealand, where England were captained by Harold Gilligan.

Calthorpe was a member of the Gough-Calthorpe family. His nephew is the cricket commentator, Henry Blofeld.
