Frege: Philosophy of Language (1973; second edition 1981) is a book about the philosopher Gottlob Frege by the British philosopher Michael Dummett.{{sfn|Lowe|2005|page=222}}

Reception

Frege: Philosophy of Language has been highly influential. Together with Frege: Philosophy of Mathematics (1991), it is Dummett's chief contribution to Frege scholarship.{{sfn|Lowe|2017|page=247}} However, Dummett's epistemological interpretation of the idea of a route to reference has been seen as unnecessary by the philosopher Daniel Dennett. The philosopher Roger Scruton endorsed Dennett's view.{{sfn|Scruton|1994|page=416}}
