Frederick "Fred/Freddy" Flintstone is the main character and protagonist of the Flintstones franchise. Fred is a working-class caveman living the life of a dinosaur crane operator at a quarry in his home of Bedrock. While Fred is away at work, at home is his wife, Wilma, the adoring pet dinosaur he's stuck caring for, Dino (Hanna-Barbera later retconned Dino to be the childhood pet of Fred), and the later addition of Fred and Wilma's baby daughter, Pebbles. His best friend and next-door neighbor is Barney Rubble.

Not including The Flagstones pitch, Fred's official first appearance was in The Flintstones episode "The Flintstone Flyer". The pitch featured the voice of Daws Butler, while the series proper had Alan Reed.
