Freda Kelly (born 14 July 1945) is an Irish secretary who was employed by the Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein from 1962 until 1972, and was president of the group's official fan club.

[3] She became a fan of the Beatles after seeing them perform at the nearby Cavern Club, and soon became a devoted regular – by her own estimation, attending almost 200 of their shows, usually during her lunch break.

Epstein and the Beatles, not wishing to lose her services, offered to let her continue her employment in Liverpool with visits to London a few days a month.

She married and became a mother, but officially ended her work for the group only in 1972, and even then continued to respond to fan club mail for three years thereafter.

She resisted repeated offers to write a book about her experiences, gave away most of her Beatles memorabilia to fans in the mid-1970s, and rarely – if ever – spoke of her time with the band.

"[6][10] The children's animated series Beat Bugs, which takes the music of the Beatles and applies them to life lessons, features a character named Freda.
