Fredy Neptune: A Novel in Verse is a novel written in verse by the Australian poet Les Murray.
Told in eight-line stanzas, Fredy Neptune describes the experiences of Fred Boettcher, an Australian of German parentage, during the years between the world wars. The work was described by the British poet Ruth Padel as "a haunting, loving, fiercely democratic epic by a master poet." It won the 1998 Queensland Premier's Literary Awards Fiction Book Award.
