Frederick "Fred" Pagnam (4 September 1891 – March 1962) was an English footballer and manager.
Pagnam was born in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, and started his playing career as a striker at Blackpool Wednesday. He then had an unfruitful spell at Huddersfield Town and so linked up with Southport Central. He joined Blackpool in 1913 and after a season there moved to Liverpool in 1914. Pagnam scored on his Reds debut, against Chelsea on 10 October 1914 and scored four against Tottenham Hotspur a couple of weeks later. He went on to score 26 goals that season and was Liverpool's top scorer.
Pagnam's time at Liverpool coincided with a conspiracy by some Liverpool players to rig a match with Manchester United. This was in order to profit from betting on the result, in what became known as the 1915 British football betting scandal. Pagnam refused to take part in the conspiracy and even threatened to score a goal to ruin the prearranged result. United won 2-0 as agreed, but four Liverpool players and three United players were found guilty of match-fixing by the Football Association, with Pagnam testifying against his teammates.
The outbreak of World War I meant competitive football was suspended at the end of the 1914-15 season; Pagnam continued to play for Liverpool through the war, but when football resumed after hostilities ceased, Pagnam played only eight more matches for Liverpool before being sold to Arsenal in October 1919.
