Gottlob Frick (28 July 1906 – 18 August 1994) was a German operatic bass. He was known for his wide repertory including Wagner and Mozart roles. Some of his most celebrated roles were Wagnerian villains such as Hunding and Hagen in ''Der Ring des Nibelungen'', but others were noble characters like Sarastro in ''The Magic Flute'' or Gurnemanz in ''Parsifal'' or comic figures such as Osmin in ''Die Entführung aus dem Serail'' or Falstaff in ''The Merry Wives of Windsor''.
