Fred Durst (born William Frederick Durst, on August 20, 1970, in Jacksonville, Florida, USA) is the lead singer of the rapcore band, Limp Bizkit.

The son of a policeman, Durst was raised in Gastonia, North Carolina, where he lived until his teens. After high school, he returned to Jacksonville for brief service in the United States Navy, and later married at age 20. He and his wife had one daughter, Adriana, but the couple was divorced soon after Durst discovered that his wife had a sexual affair during their marriage. He later spent time in jail for assaulting his wife's partner. Durst was involved in controversy upon the death of Australian teenager Jessica Michalik who was crushed to death at the Sydney Big Day Out concert where Limp Bizkit played in 2001.
