F. Sylvester "Hooks" Foreman (August 4, 1895 – August 23, 1940) was an American baseball catcher in the Negro Leagues. He played from 1921 to 1933, playing with several teams.

He would continue to work with Donaldson and other top Negro League pitchers after that, playing in Bertha, Minnesota, Little Falls, Minnesota, and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
