Frederick George Moore Perceval, 11th Earl of Egmont (14 April 1914 – 8 December 2001), was a Canadian farmer and peer. Born in Calgary, Perceval and his father moved to Avon Castle in Ringwood, Hampshire upon the latter's ascension as the 10th Earl of Egmont. When he died in 1932, Perceval inherited his estate and title and promptly moved back to Canada. Marrying Geraldine Moodie in August, they soon built a home on a piece of land they bought right outside Priddis, Alberta, where Perceval was raised. When a fire destroyed that home, they built a new one and sold Avon Castle. They bought the Two-Dot Ranch in 1959 at Nanton, Alberta, where Perceval died in 2001. He was succeeded by his son Thomas as the 12th earl.
