Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Baden-Durlach (7 October 1703 26 March 1732) was a German hereditary prince of the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach.

Frederick was the son of Charles III William, Margrave of Baden-Durlach, and Magdalena Wilhelmine of Württemberg (7 November 1677 - 30 October 1742), the daughter of William Louis, Duke of Württemberg.

He became heir apparent when his elder brother Charles Magnus died in 1712. However, he died before his father did and therefore never came to government in Durlach.
