Fred Thomas Wigington (December 16, 1897 – May 8, 1980) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played in 1923 with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Wigington was a very successful amateur and minor league pitcher before his brief Major League career. In 1922, he led the Nebraska State League with 261 strikeouts. He had a reputation for having an effective curveball but less remarkable fastball.[1]
