Frieda Friedman (born 1905) was an author of children's literature who, from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, published several short, illustrated novels primarily intended for preteen and adolescent girls. Her works enjoyed republication and numerous printings through the 1970s, and in some cases until the late 1980s.

Valeria Patterson illustrated all of Friedman's work published by Samuel Lowe, while Carolyn Haywood originally illustrated a number of Friedman's other works. Scholastic Book Services reprinted select Friedman titles in the 1960s, with illustrations by Mary Stevens (e.g., The Janitor's Girl; Dot for Short).

Friedman set her fiction in the City of New York, and focused primarily on the lives of young girls in loving, supportive working class families.
