Frederick Everett Jennings (September 23, 1877 – May 24, 1953) was a prominent American attorney, financial executive, and collegiate football coach. In 1900, he held the position of head football coach at Dartmouth College, where his team finished with a 2–4–2 record.

A native of Everett, Massachusetts, Jennings completed his undergraduate studies at Dartmouth in 1900. During his time as a halfback, he earned a varsity letter in 1898 and set a longstanding school record by scoring seven touchdowns in a single game against Amherst. In 1899, he was selected for Charles E. Patterson's second All-American team.

Following his single season as Dartmouth's head coach, Jennings earned his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1903. He later returned to Dartmouth to serve as an assistant coach in the years 1908, 1909, and 1912 under the leadership of Frank Cavanaugh.

Jennings built a career in both law and banking. By 1934, he was president of the Everett Bank and Trust Company and also held a directorship at the Colonial Beacon Oil Company. He passed away on May 24, 1953, at Palmer Memorial Hospital located in Palmer, Massachusetts.
