Frederick Albert Winsor, originally Friedrich Albrecht Winzer (1763 in Braunschweig, Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel – 11 May 1830 in Paris) was a German inventor, one of the pioneers of gas lighting in the UK and France.

Returning to Britain, he started a gasworks and in 1807 lit one side of Pall Mall, London, with gas lamps.

In 1804–09 Winsor was granted various patents for gas furnaces and, application to Parliament for a charter for the Gas Light and Coke Company having failed, he once more moved to France, but unlike the success he had in United Kingdom in Paris his company in made little progress and was liquidated in 1819.

The lid had a pipe in the centre leading to the conical condensing vessel, which was compartmented inside with perforated divisions to spread the gas to purify it of hydrogen sulphide and ammonia.

Winsor published Description of the Thermo-lamp Invented by Lebon of Paris in 1802, Analogy between Animal and Vegetable Life, Demonstrating the Beneficial Application of the Patent Light Stoves to all Green and Hot Houses in 1807, and other works.
