Frederick Steven Auerbach (born February 15, 1950) is an American former Major League Baseball shortstop.

Auerbach began the 1971 season as the Brewers' starting shortstop, but lost the job following the June 1 acquisition of Bob Heise from the San Francisco Giants.

He batted .229 for the month, and clubbed his first home run on September 24 off the Oakland Athletics' Diego Segui to lead his team to a 1–0 victory.

[2] With Bill Russell firmly entrenched at the shortstop position, Auerbach spent the season in triple A with the Albuquerque Dukes.

Just as Spring training 1977 was beginning, the Dodgers sent Auerbach to the New York Mets for pitcher Hank Webb.

[4] He appeared in 22 games for the triple A Tidewater Tides when he was the player to be named later[5] in the deal that sent Lenny Randle to the Mets from the Texas Rangers.

[11] He batted .210 with one home run and twelve RBIs for a Reds team that captured the National League West by a game and a half over the Houston Astros.

Auerbach batted .333 in 24 games for the Reds in 1980 when his contract was purchased by the Texas Rangers on his wedding day of July 19.

On December 12, 1980, the Rangers sent Richie Zisk, Brian Allard, Ken Clay, Jerry Don Gleaton, minor leaguer Steve Finch and a player to be named later to the Seattle Mariners for Larry Cox, Rick Honeycutt, Mario Mendoza, Leon Roberts and a player to be named later.
