Frederik Marinus Emanuel Derby (March 31, 1940 – May 19, 2001) was a Surinamese politician and trade unionist.

In the years before his death he fought for an investigation into these events, and he told what had happened to him in Fort Zeelandia.

Derby emerged as a strong opponent of Bouterse and fought in the last years of his life for an investigation into the December murders.

Derby founded in 1987, along with Siegfried Gilds the Surinamese Labour Party (SLA).

He died at the age of 61 in Paramaribo due to cardiac arrest, shortly after he collapsed during a game of football.
