Frederick Wilton Litchfield Stockdale (1786–1858,[1] fl. 1803–1848) was a British artist. Stockdale was primarily a landscape artist, and his work was often published as engravings.[2] He signed his work F.W.L. Stockdale.

After working for the East India Company, Stockdale specialised in the antiquities of southern England and the West Country.[3]

Some of his work is included in the UK Royal Collection[4] and his archives are held by the Devon and Exeter Institution.[5] William Woolnoth did engravings of some of his work.
