Frederik Boi (born October 25, 1981 in Bruges) is a Belgian professional football player. Boi has played for no other team than Cercle Brugge throughout his career. His position on the field used to be side midfielder or winger. However, since the 2007-08 season, Cercle coach Glen De Boeck is fielding Boi as right back. Ever since, De Boeck has been calling Boi the best right wing back in the Belgian competition. Boi used to be a team mate of Belgian international Thomas Buffel during his youth schooling at Cercle.

It took quite a long time for Boi to definitively achieve a place in Cercle's starting line-up. This was probably because of Boi's thin appearance during his era as a youth player. But due to Cercle not playing at the highest level of Belgian football, Boi was given credit. As a result, when Cercle promoted to the highest level, Boi was physically ready to take up his responsibility as a professional footballer. Before becoming a professional player, Frederik Boi worked for the Belgian bookstore Standaard Boekhandel as a computer programmer.

Frederik Boi made himself immortal for the Cercle fans, scoring the only goal in the victory against city rivals Club Brugge on December 17, 2006. It was the first win in 13 years for Cercle in the Bruges derby. (Frederik Boi's famous goal on Youtube.com)
