Fred Stone (sometimes given as Freddie Stone) (9 September 1935 – 10 December 1986) was a Canadian flugelhornist, trumpeter, pianist, composer, writer, and music educator.
He worked as a soloist within both the classical and jazz repertoires from the 1950s through the early 1970s, notably appearing in concerts with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, and the San Diego Symphony.
Between 1971 and 1983 he mainly focused on his work as a composer and teacher, making only periodic public performances.
In 1984 he resumed actively performing when he formed "Freddie's Band", a jazz ensemble in residence at The Music Gallery in Toronto.
He performed with this group up until his death two years later.
