Frederick Lancelot Nott (25 March 1874 – 5 December 1927) was a politician in Queensland, Australia and a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 1920 to 1927.
Nott was born in East Maitland, New South Wales, the son of Frederick Lewis Nott and Jean (née Blair). His brother Lewis Windermere Nott was later a member of the Parliament of Australia.
He was educated at the Brisbane Normal School, the Maryborough Grammar School (Queensland) and the Couerwell Academy (New South Wales). He was awarded a diploma in agriculture from the Hawkesbury Agricultural College in March 1893.
After leaving the college, he specialised in agricultural chemistry, then went to Braunschweig University of Technology in Germany to further his studies in analytical chemistry and technology, specialising in agricultural and sugar chemistry, resulting in the award of a science degree from that institution.
Having returned to Queensland, in the late 1890s, he was working as a chemist on his father's sugar farm at Windermere, Queensland (near Bundaberg). He married May Evelyn Wright on 12 June 1901 at the Nott family home at Windermere; their only child (an unnamed daughter) died shortly after birth in 1904.
Between about 1898 and 1903 Nott was involved in assaying and managing a cyanide works for the extraction of gold at Nelson (near Cairns, Queensland).
For about two years, Nott worked as a chemistry demonstrator and assistant analytical chemist at the Queensland Agricultural College at Gatton under Mr. J. Bailnich.
