Frederick I, or Ferry I[1] of Lorraine (9 January 1369[citation needed] – October 25, 1415 in the Battle of Agincourt[2]) was a Count of Vaudémont.[1]

He was the son of Duke John I of Lorraine (1346-1390) and Sophie of Württemberg (1343-1369).[3] He was a younger brother of Charles II.[citation needed] In 1394, Frederick married Margaret, the heiress of Vaudémont and Joinville, and became Count of these lands in her right.[4][5] He founded the House of Vaudémont, a junior branch of the House of Lorraine.

Dynastic problems in the senior line caused his great-grandson René of Vaudémont to become Duke of Lorraine as René II in 1473.[6]
