Frederick R. Rehm (May 18, 1921 – December 28, 2012){{cite web |url=http://www.beckerritter.com/sitemaker/sites/Becker1/obit.cgi?user=857350Rehm |title=In Memory of Frederick Rehm |publisher=Beckerritter.com |accessdate=2013-02-14 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130104080131/http://beckerritter.com/sitemaker/sites/Becker1/obit.cgi?user=857350Rehm |archivedate=2013-01-04 }} was an American basketball player. He was an early professional player in the National Basketball League (which later merged with the Basketball Association of America to form the National Basketball Association) and was a starter on the University of Wisconsin's 1941 national championship team.

Rehm, a 6'2" guard from Pulaski High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, played college basketball at Wisconsin for future Hall of Fame coach Bud Foster. Rehm played from 1940 to 1943 and, as a sophomore, was a starting guard for the Badgers' 1941 national championship team. One of the turning points in the season was Foster's decision to insert Rehm into the starting lineup for his defense and rebounding, in place of Bob Alwin.{{cite news |title= Surprising Badger team won NCAA title in 1941|author= Bob Wolf|newspaper= The Milwaukee Journal |date= March 31, 2000|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=H2IaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=oykEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4924,999728&dq=fred-rehm+basketball&hl=en |accessdate=December 20, 2011}}
