Fred Espenak is a retired emeritus American astrophysicist. He worked at the Goddard Space Flight Center. He is best known for his work on eclipse predictions. He became interested in astronomy when he was 7–8 years old, and had his first telescope when he was around 9–10 years old. Espenak earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Wagner College, Staten Island, where he worked in the planetarium. His master's degree is from the University of Toledo, based on studies he did at Kitt Peak Observatory of eruptive and flare stars among red dwarfs.

Il est plus connu pour son travail sur les prédictions d'éclipses. (fr) Fred Espenak és un astrofísic americà emèrit. Va treballar al Centre de vol espacial oddard. És més conegut sobretot pel seu treball sobre prediccions d'eclipsis. Es va interessar per l'astronomia quan tenia entre 7 i 8 anys i va tenir el seu primer telescopi quan tenia entre 9 i 10 anys. Espenak va obtenir el títol de llicenciat en física al de Staten Island, on va treballar al planetari. El seu màster és de la Universitat de Toledo, basat en estudis que va fer a l'Observatori Kitt Peak d'estrelles eruptives i de flaixos entre nanes roges. (ca) Fred Espenak (* 1953) ist ein US-amerikanischer Astrophysiker. Er war bis 2009 am Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) tätig und wurde v. a. durch seine Berechnungen und Kataloge von Sonnenfinsternissen bekannt. Sein Interesse an dieser Thematik erwachte, als er die beobachtete -- und seither mindestens 20 weitere Finsternisse. Wegen seiner zahlreichen Publikationen hiezu wird er in Fachkreisen oft als Mr Eclipse bezeichnet. 2003 wurde der Asteroid (14120) Espenak nach ihm benannt.
