Friedrichstadt (Danish: Frederiksstad) is a town in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated on the river Eider.
The town was founded in 1621 by Dutch settlers. Duke Friedrich III of Holstein-Gottorp persuaded them to invest capital and knowledge in this region in turn for freedom of their Mennonite and Remonstrant religion and opportunities to reclaim fen and marsh land in the vicinity of the town. Dutch became an official language. The town was named after Duke Frederick.

1637 ließ der Kaufmann und Remonstrantenprediger Godefridus Paludanus das sogenannte "Paludanus-Haus" erbauen. Das Haus steht hier auf dem Notgeldschein für die Vielfalt an Religionsgemeinschaften (Mennoniten, Remonstranten, Katholiken, Lutheraner, Juden u.a.), die in der "Stadt der Toleranz" Zuflucht fanden.
