Frederick Randon (24 June 1845 - 17 February 1883) was an English first-class cricketer.
Randon was born at Stapleford in June 1845.[1] He made his debut in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club against the North at Lord's in 1874.[2] He played first-class cricket until 1876, making fifteen appearances, including playing for the Players of the North in 1874 and the North in 1875.[2] In fifteen first-class appearances, he scored 104 runs with a high score of 23 not out. With his right-arm roundarm fast bowling, he took 37 wickets at an average of 17.70, with best figures of 6 for 54.[3] One of two five-wicket hauls he took, these figures came for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Nottinghamshire in 1874.[4] Besides playing, Randon worked as coach at some of the top public schools, including Eton College and Wellington College.[1] He stood as an umpire in first-class matches on six occasions between 1875 - 80.[5] While playing at Lord's in 1881, he was seriously injured when struck on the head by a ball. He never fully recovered and died in February 1883.[6] His son, Frederick junior, was also a first-class cricketer.
