Fredrik Riis (29 January 1789 – 22 October 1845) was a Norwegian civil servant.
[1] He then held positions as County Governor in several Norwegian counties: in Nordre Bergenhus amt (today named Sogn og Fjordane) from 1831 to 1832, Søndre Trondhjems amt (today named Sør-Trøndelag) 1832–1840 and Akershus 1840–1842.
When the county of Christiania stiftamt (today named Oslo), which had shared governor with Akershus, got its own governor in 1842, Riis was appointed to this position.
[2] In Trondhjem he was a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters.
