Fredrik Georg Gade (21 March 1855 – 1 March 1933) was a Norwegian physician.
He was born in Bergen as the son of merchant Fredrik Georg Gade (1830–1905) and his wife Ingeborg Wallem (1830–1902). The family originated in Lüneburg; an ancestor had migrated to Norway in the eighteenth century. The name Fredrik Georg was a family tradition. He was the brother of Herman Gerhard Gade, and a first cousin of Fredrik Barbe Wallem,Fredrik Herman Gade and John Allyne Gade.
Gade married twice. His first marriage, to Augusta Smith-Petersen (1858–1936), a daughter of Morten Smith-Petersen, lasted from September 1881 to 1898—she later married Christian Sinding. Secondly, Gade married Louise Kiær (1866–1959) in June 1908. She was a Danish citizen. The couple settled at Heggeli in Vestre Aker.
Gade was a skilled amateur violinist, and played together with composer and conductor Iver Holter while studying. He also befriended cultural and political personalities such as Edvard Grieg, Georg Brandes, Jonas Lie, Alexander Kielland and Christian Michelsen.
Despite the tendency in his family to work in the business life, Gade had an academic career. After finishing his secondary education in 1872, he graduated from the Royal Frederick University with the cand.med. degree in 1880. He was employed at Rikshospitalet, and from 1888 he also worked at the Royal Frederick University. He had the title prosector from 1891. He also held lectures in anatomy at the Bergen Academy of the Arts. In 1900 he had been considered as the replacement of professor Hjalmar Heiberg, but since Gade did not hold a doctorate, the position went to Francis Harbitz. Both candidates delivered a paper as a part of the assessment process; Gade's paper Om patologisk-anatomiske forandringer i vævene af neurotrofisk oprindelse was later considered as a doctor's thesis. Gade received the dr.med. degree later in 1900. He left the university in 1906.
