Frederick A. Young OBE, BSC was an English cinematographer. Sometimes credited as F. A. Young, his career in motion picture photography spanned more than 130 films across nearly 70 years, between 1919 and 1984. He was best known for the sweeping, lush widescreen color photography he displayed through his collaborations with director David Lean. He won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography three times - for Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965) and Ryan's Daughter (1970) - all directed by Lean.
