Frédéric Courtois (1860–1928) was a French missionary and naturalist.
Frédéric Courtois was a missionary in China from 1901 until his death. He directed Musée Heude in Xujiahui. Courtois was primarily interested in ornithology and botany. From 1906 to 1928, he organized expeditions in the provinces of Kiangsu and the mountains of Anhwei and the Huangshan range. On these expeditions, he brought back some 40,000 specimens. His Anhwei plant collection was published in 1933 by his successor, Dr. Henry Belval.
