Frederick Thomas Pelham (2 August 1808 - 21 June 1861, 8 Waterloo Street, Hove) was an English rear-admiral. He was the son of Thomas Pelham, 2nd Earl of Chichester and Lady Mary Henrietta Juliana (1776-1862), and entered the navy on 27 June 1823. Serving as a midshipman on the HMS Sybille in the Mediterranean (including an attack on Greek pirates), he was promoted to lieutenant in 1830 before serving with the HMS Ferret until being promoted to commander on 21 September 1835. He then served at that rank on HMS Castor off Spain's north coast during the Carlist War before receiving his first command, HMS Tweed, in the same theatre in 1837 and 1838, being awarded the cross of San Fernando and promotion to rear admiral for his services. He rose to captain on 3 July 1840. He then commanded HMS Odin, a steam paddle frigate, in the Mediterranean Sea from 1847 to 1850.
