Fred C. Janke (pronounced yonkee) (April 28, 1917 – January 24, 2009) was an American football player, business executive and politician.

"[9] Writing for the Detroit Free Press, former Michigan quarterback Tod Rockwell credited Janke and Tom Harmon with creating a winning team under new line coach "Biggie" Munn.

Janke is entitled to full credit for his part in adding to the momentum of that football pendulum directed by Munn.

"[10] After graduating from Michigan in 1939, Janke taught at Jackson High School and served as an assistant coach there.

[1] Janke enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was stationed in the Philippines.
