Frederick Joseph McEvoy (12 February 1907 – 7 November 1951) was an Australian and British multi-discipline sportsman and socialite. He had most sporting success as a bobsledder in the late 1930s, winning several medals including three golds at the FIBT World Championships. He married three wealthy heiresses and was a close friend of Errol Flynn. He often shortened his name to Freddie McEvoy and was nicknamed "Suicide Freddie".
