Frederick Crist Trump Jr. (October 14, 1938 – September 26, 1981) was an American airplane pilot and maintenance worker. The eldest son of real-estate businessman Fred Trump Sr., he fell out of his father's favor when he chose to become an airline pilot, leading to his younger brother Donald inheriting the family business.

Both Fred Sr. and Donald disparaged Fred Jr. for becoming a pilot instead of continuing in the family real estate business. By the early 1970s, he could no longer function as a pilot due to his alcoholism, a condition which also contributed to his fatal heart attack.
