Frederick Atkins (died 2005) was a convicted murderer who received a mandatory death sentence from a court in Barbados. He died in prison while the Inter-American Court of Human Rights was considering his appeal. On 9 February 2005, Barbados issued another death warrant for Atkins, informing him that he was scheduled to be executed by hanging on 14 February. After appeals to the government by Amnesty International and the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, the Barbados High Court agreed to stay the execution.
