Frederick Robert Trotter (August 20, 1861 – September 4, 1934)[1] was a farmer and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada. He represented Antigonish County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1903 to 1919 as a Liberal member.

Frederick was the grandson of the Reverend Thomas Trotter, born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, to Robert Trotter, a Scottish immigrant, and Ann Maclennan. He was schooled at Saint Francis Xavier College, a liberal arts institution founded in 1853.[1] He served on the town council for Antigonish and was elected mayor in 1897 and 1898. He was first elected to the provincial assembly in a 1903 by-election held after Angus McGillivray was named to the bench. Trotter died in Antigonish.[1]
