Frederick Brodie MacNutt (26 September 1873 – 17 July 1949[1]) was an Anglican priest and author in the first half of the 20th century.

MacNutt was educated at St Paul's School, London, and Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He was ordained in 1898 and was a curate at Holy Trinity, Beckenham, and St James's Church, Piccadilly.[3] After this he was curate-in-charge of Christ Church, Wimbledon, then vicar of St John’s, Cheltenham, and St Matthew’s, Surbiton.[4] From 1909 to 1918 he was a canon residentiary at Southwark Cathedral. In 1918 he became the incumbent of St Martin's, Leicester, and also archdeacon of the Leicester area of the diocese. When St Martin's Church became a cathedral he became its first provost, resigning in 1938. From then until his retirement in 1946 he was a canon[5] of Canterbury Cathedral[6]
