Frédéric Liguori Béique, PC (May 20, 1845 – September 12, 1933) was a Canadian lawyer and politician.

Born in Saint-Mathias, Quebec, he was trained as a lawyer and was called to the Quebec Bar in 1868.[1] On 15 April 1875 at Saint-Jacques Cathedral in Montreal, he married Carolina-Angélina Dessaulles, with whom he would have ten children[2][3] From 1899 to 1905, he was the president of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society. In 1902, he was appointed to the Senate of Canada representing senatorial division of De Salaberry, Quebec. A Liberal, he served until his death in 1933. In 1932, Béique nominated Raoul Dandurand for the Nobel Prize in Peace.[1]

After his death in 1845, he was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.[4]
