Frederic Ford Stileman (4 February 1882 – 29 May 1949) was an English first-class cricketer and merchant.

The son of the civil engineer Francis Stileman,[1] he was born at Barrow-in-Furness in February 1882. He was educated at the Lancaster Royal Grammar School. After completing his education, Stileman went to British India where he was a merchant.[2] In India, he played first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team, making his debut for the team against the Parsees in the 1910–11 Bombay Presidency Match. He made a further five appearances in the Presidency Matches until 1921, with his final appearance coming against Parsees.[3] In his six matches, he scored 157 runs at an average of 15.70, with a highest score of 37.[4] In business, Stileman was amongst the first subscribers of The Associated Cement Companies upon its foundation in 1936.[5] He later retired to England, where he died in May 1949 at Charlwood, Surrey.[2] His brother, Cyril, was also a first-class cricketer for the Europeans.
