Frederick William Keator (October 22, 1855 – January 31, 1924) was an American lawyer who became an Episcopal priest and the third missionary bishop of Washington state, which encompassed that portion of Washington State west of the Cascade Range. It achieved full diocesan status (and a name change) during his tenure, so Rt.Rev. Keator became the first bishop of what became the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia.
