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 represented the electoral district of Gagetown-Petitcodiac (formerly Grand Lake-Gagetown) as a member of the Progressive Conservatives until 2024.[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.

Wetmore was named to the Select Committee on Cannabis, pursuant to Motion 31 of the 3rd session of the 58th New Brunswick Legislature.[2]

Wetmore was re-elected in the 2014, 2018, and 2020 provincial elections. He did not stand in the 2024 provincial election.
