Frederick Pitman (9 May 1828 – 21 November 1886) was an English publisher, writer, and educator. A younger brother of Isaac Pitman, the inventor of Pitman shorthand, he was a prominent figure in the dissemination of phonographic literature and shorthand education in the mid-19th century. He established a publishing firm in London that became the principal outlet for his brother's shorthand works and related periodicals. In 1862, he founded a music publishing business that specialised in domestic and popular compositions, including works by Michael William Balfe. Pitman also contributed to the vegetarian movement through the publication of books and periodicals, and edited several journals devoted to shorthand. He was a member of the Royal Society of Arts, served as its first shorthand examiner, and was active in the cause of spelling reform.
