'''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.
