Frederick William Piesse (10 December 1848 – 6 March 1902[1]) was a member of the first Australian federal parliament.

In April 1894, Piesse resigned from the House of Assembly as part of an arrangement to swap seats with Legislative Council member for Buckingham, Philip Fysh, to enable Fysh to take the role of Treasurer in Edward Braddon's ministry.

Piesse was elected as a Free Trader to the first federal Australian Parliament as one of the five members for Tasmania.

His tenure as a federal parliamentarian would be short lived, however, as he died less than a year after his election.

Piesse died of septic pneumonia at his home in New Town on 6 March 1902, aged 53, having been ill for three months.
