Fred Westgarth (July 1887 in South Shields, England – 4 February 1957) was an English footballer though he is more renowned for his role as a manager.
He was South Shields' assistant trainer before he joined Ebbw Vale, Workington and Luton Town in a training capacity.
In December 1936 he moved to Carlisle United not waiting to see his Stockport side win the Division Three (North) title that season.
He helped Bradford to lift its first honour for ten years, albeit in only the Third Division North Challenge Cup, in 1938-39.
But in 1957 he was taken seriously ill and died on 4 February shortly after he saw his side lose 4–3 to Manchester United in the FA Cup third round in front of a record 17,264 crowd at Victoria Park.
