Frederick Morton Eden (1 November 1829 – 11 March 1917) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.

The son of the bishop Robert Eden,[1] he was born in November 1829 at Messing, Essex. He was educated at both Rugby School and Eton College,[2] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford where he was a fellow of All Souls College.[3] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford in 1849. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1851, making six appearances.[4] He scored 141 runs for Oxford, at an average of 14.10 and a high score of 51.[5] Eden played first-class cricket twice for the MCC in 1852, before appearing for the Gentlemen of the Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of England in 1853.[4]

After graduating from Oxford, Eden was commissioned into the Oxfordshire Militia as a lieutenant in February 1853.[6] He served in Corfu in 1854,[2] before being promoted to captain in August 1856.[7] A student of Lincoln's Inn, Eden was called to the bar in April 1858.[8] He was married twice during his life, with each marriage producing three children each, including Frederick Charles Eden from his first marriage to Louisa Ann Parker.[1] Eden died at South Kensington in March 1917. His cousin Frederick Eden and nephew Sidney Olivier both played first-class cricket.
