Frederic William Stephen Price (26 February 1852 – 22 December 1937) was an English clergyman and schoolmaster, and a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and an England XI.^[1] He was born in Lutterworth, Leicestershire and died at Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex. In some sources and on census returns, his first name is spelled "Frederick".^[2]

Price was educated at St John's College, Cambridge.^[2] As a cricketer, he was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium pace bowler.^[1] He played in three matches in the 1873 season and appeared in the trial for the Cambridge eleven in 1874, but his only first-class game that season was for an England XI against the university side, and he did not play again.^[1]

Price graduated from Cambridge University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1875, converting it to a Master of Arts in 1881.^[2] He became a priest in the Church of England and was curate at Bray, Berkshire to 1884.^[2] He then became a schoolmaster at Ovingdean Hall School near Brighton, at that time a preparatory school, but he returned to church duties as vicar of Bedwyn, Wiltshire from 1909 and then, from 1911 to 1922, as rector of Stanton St Quintin, also in Wiltshire.^[2] He then retired to Shoreham where he died in 1937.
