William Howard Frindall, MBE (3 March 1939 – 29 January 2009) was an English cricket scorer and statistician. He was familiar to cricket followers from his appearances on the BBC Radio 4 programme Test Match Special, nicknamed the Bearded Wonder (often shortened to Bearders) by Brian Johnston for his ability to research the most obscure cricketing facts in moments, at the same time as keeping perfect scorecards, and because he had a beard. In his obituary in The Independent, Angus Fraser described Frindall as "the doyen of cricket scorers".

Frindall was born in Epsom, Surrey. He was educated at Reigate Grammar School, and studied architecture at the Kingston School of Art.

He undertook National Service in the RAF from 1955, becoming a corporal. He remained in the RAF after completing his service, and was commissioned in 1963 as accountant officer in the secretarial branch. He served for two years in the NATO headquarters at Fontainebleau, and left the RAF in 1965. He grew his handlebar moustache into a full beard after leaving the RAF.
