Frederick Theodore Badcock (9 August 1897 – 19 September 1982) was a New Zealand first-class and Test cricketer.

Badcock was born at Abbottabad in the North-West Frontier Province of British India and educated at Wellington College in Berkshire, England.

[1] A fine batsman and bowler, and also an excellent fielder, he was perhaps the best all-rounder in New Zealand in the inter-war period.

His batting was also unspectacular: he was twice bowled by Clarrie Grimmett without scoring, and was dismissed for two runs in his other completed innings.

In the Second Test at Basin Reserve, Wellington later in January 1930,[10] Badcock came in to bat at number 11 in New Zealand's first innings.

In the First Test at Lancaster Park, Christchurch in March 1933 he opened the bowling and took 3/142, taking the wicket of Herbert Sutcliffe with the first ball of the match.

[16] R. T. Brittenden described him as having "the urbanity of Herbert Sutcliffe and the ... grace of Keith Miller" and having "tremendous presence; he commanded attention in everything he did.

"[17] Badcock played as a professional in the Central Lancashire League for Werneth between 1934 and 1938, and for Castleton Moor between 1939 and 1941.

His top score was 155 for Wellington in the Plunket Shield match against Canterbury in January 1927, also his maiden first-class century.
