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.
