Frederick Foster Kislingbury (December 25, 1847 – June 1, 1884) was an English-born United States Army Signal Corps officer and Arctic explorer best known for his resignation from the Lady Franklin Bay expedition, under command of Adolphus W. Greely, almost immediately after personnel had been landed at Lady Franklin Bay. He missed the drop-off ship Proteus's departure by minutes, effectively stranding him among its personnel while no longer officially taking part in the expedition himself.
