Frederick Albert Mitchell-Hedges (sometimes known as Mike; 22 October 1882 – 12 June 1959) was an English adventurer, traveller and writer.

Mitchell-Hedges was known for his connection to the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull, claimed to have been found with his adopted daughter Anna Mitchell-Hedges in Lubaantun, British Honduras (now Belize) in 1924.[1] Archival evidence shows that the elder Mitchell-Hedges bought the skull at a Sotheby's auction in 1943,[2] and other of his finds are also in question.[3][4]
