Fred "Skeeter" Fleiter (3 May 1897 – 10 January 1973)^[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Fleiter played as a ruck rover and made his league debut in 1919. He played his career beside ruckman Roy Cazaly and is credited with coming up for the famous phrase "Up there Cazaly". It was used as a signal to signify that Cazaly was free to run through and leap for the ball.^[1]

He played his last game for South Melbourne in 1925 but returned four years later as a non-playing coach for a season.
