Fred Girod (born 1951) is a Republican politician from the U.S. state of Oregon. He serves in the Oregon State Senate representing District 9, in the mid-Willamette Valley, and lives in Stayton.

Girod graduated from Stayton High School, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Oregon State University, a DMD from Oregon Health Sciences University, and a Masters of Public Administration from Harvard University.^[1] He has been a practicing dentist for 26 years, and served in the Oregon House of Representatives in the early 1990s, chairing the Rules Committee.^[1] He ran for the U.S. Congress in 1994, but lost in the primary to Jim Bunn.^[2]

Girod then served on the Stayton City Council.^[3] He was selected by Marion and Linn County Republicans to run again for the House in 2006, in district 17, following then-Representative Jeff Kropf's sudden departure from the 2006 election. He won that election, defeating Democrat Dan Thackaberry, and was appointed in 2008 to succeed Senator Roger Beyer of District 9 upon his resignation. He was sworn in in January 2008.^[4] He is a candidate for reelection to that seat in 2008.^[5]

Girod broke with other Republicans in supporting the Oregon Health Plan.^[3]

He and his wife Daphne have two children and two grandchildren.^[1]
