Fredrik Ludvig Konow (born 23 June 1864, died 14 August 1953) was a Norwegian entrepreneur and political figure affiliated with the Free-minded Liberal Party.
Originating from Bergen, he was the son of merchant and consul Wollert Konow (1829–1885) and Wilhelmine Marie Bredahl (1828–1908). His lineage includes the distinguished Friedrich Ludwig Konow, who relocated from Germany to Bergen during the late eighteenth century. Among his relatives were prominent individuals such as Carl Konow, Sten Konow, and Wollert Konow.
Konow entered into marriage twice: initially with Birgit Helene Schjøtt (1877–1901) from 1896 until her passing, and subsequently with Lily Rieck (1878–1956) beginning in 1904.
He held the position of Minister of Finance on two occasions—first between 1912 and 1913 under the Bratlie's Cabinet, and later from 1926 to 1928 during Lykke's Cabinet. Furthermore, he secured election to the Parliament of Norway representing the Nordnes district in both 1909 and 1918.
