Frederick Claud Sturrock (1882–1958) was a South African politician.
Born in Dundee, Scotland, he went to South Africa in 1907. He founded a mining material business, which exists today as the Sturrock and Robson Group.
He was Minister without Portfolio from 1936 until 1938, when he and Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr resigned in protest against J. B. M. Hertzog's appointment of Adriaan Paulus Johannes Fourie to the Senate as a senator representing the native population.
He then served as Minister of Transport in Jan Christian Smuts' government from 1939 to 1948. In 1948, he served as Minister of Finance for a short period.
Sturrock Dry Dock in Cape Town is named after him.
