Frederick Jackman (15 May 1841 — 5 September 1891) was an English first-class cricketer.
Jackman was born at Fareham in May 1841. He made two appearances in first-class cricket for Hampshire, against Kent at Catford in 1875, and Derbyshire at Derby in 1877.[1] In his two first-class matches, he scored 26 runs and took a single wicket.[2][3] Outside of cricket, he was by profession a watchmaker.[4] Jackman died at Horndean on 5 September 1891, whilst playing cricket with friends. After striking the ball whilst batting right-handed, he then swapped hands to bat with his left-hand and proceeded to strike the ball once again. It was after this strike that he suddenly collapsed and died. Following a post-mortem, the cause of death was established as "syncope due to fatty degeneration of the heart, and probably accelerated by over-exertion on a full stomach". A verdict of death by natural causes was returned.[4]
