Frederick Rhead Heath (30 October 1894 – 19 September 1967) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1924 and 1925.

Heath was born at Swadlincote, Derbyshire. He played minor counties cricket for Staffordshire between 1913 and 1921. During World War I he served with the Royal Artillery and was promoted from corporal to 2nd Lieutenant in 1915.[1][2] He made his debut for Derbyshire against Gloucestershire in July 1924 when he took a wicket and a catch and made 13 in the only innings he played. He played two more matches in 1924 and one in 1925.

Heath played six innings in four first-class matches with an average of 4.40 and a top score of 17. He took three first-class wickets at an average of 15.88 and a best performance of 2 for 4.[3]

Until 1928 Heath was in partnership with Charles Henry Heath as an earthenware manufacturer in the Hartshorne Pottery, Woodville, Derbyshire.[4]

Heath died at Sutton, Seaford, Sussex at the age of 72. His brother John Heath also played for Derbyshire
