Frank Plumpton Ramsey (22 February 1903 – 19 January 1930) was a precocious British philosopher, mathematician and economist who died at the age of 26. He was a close friend of
Ludwig Wittgenstein and was instrumental in translating Wittgenstein's
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus into English, as well as persuading Wittgenstein to return to philosophy and Cambridge. Like Wittgenstein, he was a member of the
Cambridge Apostles, the intellectual secret society, from 1921.
