Frederick Arthur Laws (21 July 1877 – 1 April 1954) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington in New Zealand from 1897 to 1910, and one match for Hawke's Bay in 1898. An opening bowler and middle-order batsman, Laws's best performance came in Wellington's match against the touring MCC in 1906-07.
He took five wickets in the drawn match, showing a “promising turn of speed”, and top-scored for Wellington with 47 with some bold stroke play.
After he retired from playing he became an umpire, standing in one Plunket Shield match in 1912-13. He also represented Wellington at rugby union, and was later a referee.
He worked as a saddler and leather merchant in Wellington, and also sold sporting goods.
