Fred D. Hinger (February 9, 1920 – January 10, 2001) was an American timpanist, percussion educator, and instrument designer. He held the principal timpani chairs of two of the world's leading orchestras—the Philadelphia Orchestra (1951–1967) and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (1967–1983)—and was a longtime faculty member at the Curtis Institute of Music. Hinger was recognized internationally as an authority on timpani performance and instrument design, and his innovations—including the rotating timpani bowl and sliding-weight mallet system—influenced orchestral percussion practice worldwide. He was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame in 1986.
