Walter Frye (died 1474?) was an English composer of the early Renaissance.

Most of Frye’s music survives in manuscripts from the continent, which has suggested to scholars that he spent much of his time there; however stylistically his music is closer to that of other English composers (such as John Dunstaple and John Hothby) than to that of the Burgundian School.

A reason sometimes given for the survival of his music in continental sources is that the few remaining English 15th-century manuscripts rarely mention the names of composers; therefore there may be a good deal of his music which is simply anonymous. Survival of music from this period in England is sparse because most of it was destroyed during the dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII.
