Frederick Ross Wetmore (born April 3, 1953) is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 2010 provincial election. He represents the electoral district of Gagetown-Petitcodiac (formerly Grand Lake-Gagetown) as a member of the Progressive Conservatives.[1] From 2018 to 2020 he was Minister of Agriculture, Aquaculture, and Fisheries in the Higgs government.

Wetmore was born in Campbellton, New Brunswick. In 1979, he started a meat cutting business in Burton, and eventually expanded to a very successful grocery store in Gagetown.
