Frederick Crist Trump Jr. (October 14, 1938 – September 26, 1981) was an American airplane pilot and maintenance worker. The eldest son of real-estate businessman Fred Trump Sr., he fell out of his father's favor when he chose to become an airline pilot, leading to his younger brother Donald (the 45th president of the United States) inheriting the family business.

Both Fred Sr. and Donald disparaged Trump for becoming a pilot. By the early 1970s, Fred Jr. could no longer function as a pilot due to his alcoholism,[2] a condition which also contributed to his heart attack-induced death.
