Farid Karam Nassar (born June 23, 1972) better known by his stage name Fredwreck, is a Palestinian-American record producer, songwriter, and political activist from Flint, Michigan.

Nassar has been a key figure in West Coast hip-hop since the early 2000s, collaborating extensively with names such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Kurupt, Eminem, and Nate Dogg. For his work on Britney Spears' Blackout, Nassar earned an MTV Europe Music Award for "Best Album".

Outside music, Nassar has been a political activist, notably starting the anti-Iraq War "STOP Movement" and promoting Palestinian human rights within hip-hop, for which he is sometimes nicknamed "Palestinian Ambassador to rappers". His vocal support for Palestine have led to both praise and controversy.
