Frederick (Fred) Hobbs was Mayor of Christchurch, New Zealand 1874–1877 for two terms; he was the first mayor who served more than one term.

Upon his lobbying, The Christchurch District Drainage Act 1875 was passed, and Hobbs became the first chairman of the Christchurch Drainage Board. The family were tailors and the location of their business premises in the north-east quadrant of Cathedral Square gave the area the name of Hobbs' corner.
