Frederick William Mallalieu (1860 – 10 May 1932) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom.

Son of woollen manufacturer and ironworks company chairman Henry Mallalieu (1831-1902), J.P., of Delph Lodge, Delph, Saddleworth, near Oldham, (now Greater Manchester, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire) Mallalieu was educated at Huddersfield College,[1] Henry Mallalieu was of humble origins, one of nineteen children of weaver Joseph Mallalieu, and descended from Huguenots that settled at Saddleworth in the early 1600s; at the age of twelve Henry worked as a hand-loom weaver.[2][3][4][5] Frederick's brother, Albert Henry Mallalieu, was head of that family of Tan-y-Marian, Llandudno.[6][7]

Mallalieu was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Colne Valley at a by-election in 1916. He was re-elected as a Coalition Liberal at the 1918 general election, when because of his support for Lloyd George's Coalition Government, the Conservative Party did not field a candidate.

However, a Conservative candidate did stand at the 1922 general election, and Mallalieu was reduced to third place, losing his seat to the Labour Party's Philip Snowden. His share of the vote had fallen from 58.8% in 1918 to only 25.1% in 1922.

Mallalieu did not stand for Parliament again, and died in 1932, aged 71.

He married, in 1902, Ann, daughter of Joseph Hardman;[8] two of their sons were elected to the House of Commons:

Sir William Mallalieu's daughter Ann has been a Labour life peer since 1991.
