Frederick Primrose Whitman (9 March 1896 – 21 December 1974) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia and became a salesman by career.

Whitman was educated in the public and secondary schools of Lawrencetown, then attended the University of Alberta where he received a Bachelor of Science degree. During his military service in World War I, he attained the rank of lieutenant.[1]

He was first elected to Parliament at the Mount Royal riding in the 1940 general election then re-elected there in 1945. For the 1949 election, Whitman sought re-election at the new Notre-Dame-de-Grâce riding and won the seat there, but was defeated in the next election in 1953 by William McLean Hamilton of the Progressive Conservative party.
