Frederick Hollands (7 October 1822 – 30 June 1898) was an English professional cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club between 1849 and 1859. He played in a total of 31 first-class cricket matches.^[1]

Hollands was born at

Gravesend.^[2]^[3]

Considered a valuable bowler whose height, he was 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m), meant that his deliveries bounced effectively, Hollands played regularly for Kent throughout the 1850s, taking over 100 wickets for the side in the 29 first-class matches he played for Kent. He took

Ned Willsher at Lord's against MCC in 1856. He took six wickets for 56 runs (6/56) for an England side against Nottinghamshire in 1855 and his best innings figures of 6/15 for Kent against MCC at Gravesend in 1857. He was a prolific bowler in non-first-class matches, regularly playing for Kentish club sides against touring professional elevens.^[2]

Hollands did not play first-class cricket after 1859, but retained an interest in the county side―

Scores and Biographies describes him as a "wood dealer". He married Alice Quartermaine at Sandwich in 1851; the couple had three children.^[2] Hollands died at Broomfield in 1898 aged 75.^[1]
