Frederick Philipse II (c. 1698 – July 26, 1751) was an American merchant, landowner, and politician. He was the only son of Maria Sparkes, daughter of the Governor of Barbados, and Philip Philipse, eldest son of Frederick Philipse I, first lord of Philipsburg Manor. Philip predeceased his father, and family lands passed on to younger son Adolphus Philipse. Upon his uncle's death Frederick II inherited his share of Philipse lands and commercial interests, thereafter becoming the elder Philipse male and second lord of Philipsburg Manor.
He also inherited the Highland Patent (later called the "Philipse Patent"), a 250 mi2 (650 km2) parcel of land on the east bank of the Hudson River spanning the northern Westchester County line clear to the Connecticut border.
Frederick II represented Westchester in the New York Assembly from 1724 to 1751. Upon his death in 1751 his eldest son, Frederick III, became the 3rd and final Lord of Philipsburg Manor.
