Frederick Gale (16 July 1823 – 24 April 1904) was an English cricket writer and a cricketer who played in two first-class cricket matches in 1845. By profession Gale was a solicitor in Westminster and a Parliamentary agent, but he was also a prolific writer and journalist, often using the nom de plume "Old Buffer".^[1]^[2] His books included The Game of Cricket and the ghost-written memoirs of Robert Grimston and as a journalist and columnist he contributed to Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes, continuing to write until his death.^[2]

Gale was born at Woodborough in Wiltshire and attended Winchester College.^[3] He played in the Winchester cricket XI and later as an amateur cricketer for a variety of teams, including teams representing Surrey, but his two matches for Kent County Cricket Club and the Gentlemen of Kent in 1845 are the only ones to have been accorded first-class status.^[3]^[4]

Living for many years at Mitcham in Surrey, he took a keen interest in Surrey County Cricket Club and was a visitor at The Oval until the year before his death.^[1] He died in 1904 at the age of 80 at the London Charterhouse in the City of London.^[1]^[3]
