Fred Cooper (18 April 1921 – 22 December 1986) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Lancashire and Worcestershire shortly after the Second World War. Cooper had played for Lancashire's Second XI as a teenager before the war, but his first-class debut came for that county against Oxford University in May 1946; he made 6 and 20 not out. Later that season he made his County Championship bow against Leicestershire, playing three Championship games in total, all in July. However, he left the county for Worcestershire at the end of the season.
