Frederick Teepoo Hall (1858 - 14 May 1909) was an Australian physician known for helping to establish the field of physiotherapy in Australia. He was Senior Masseur at the Melbourne Hospital from 1900 to 1907 and helped found the Australian Physiotherapy Association in 1905. During his life and career in Australia, Hall was a fierce advocate for the British Indian community, and fought against racially motivated immigration restrictions. Hall fell ill and retired from actively practicing medicine in 1908, before dying of his illness in 1909.
