Frederik Theodor Kloss was a German and Danish painter of the mid-nineteenth century. He is known as a marine painter.

Frederik Kloss moved to Copenhagen early in his career, inspired by the paintings of Danish painter Christoffer Ekkersberg, and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art. Kloss was a close friend of Ekkersberg and was under the patronage of the Danish King Christian VIII. He managed to integrate himself into the Danish cultural milieu, earning a prominent place among artists. The master devoted himself to marine painting, and many of his works appeared as lithographs.
