{{ infobox nobility | name = Burkhard I, Count of Zollern | noble family = House of Hohenzollern | father = Friedrich of Sülichgau | mother = Hiltgart | spouse = Irmentrud von Nellenburg | birth_date = c.1010 | birth_place = Unknown | death_date = Unknown | death_place = Unknown }} Friedrich, Count of Süllichen (born: c.1010) is the allegedly the father of Burkhard I. Friedrich was a probably a Count in the Sülichgau area (roughly corresponding to today's Tübingen district). He is likely to have been the son of Hesso I and Hiltgart. He was brother to Hesso II im Süllichgau.
His significance lies primarily in the fact that he is likely to be one of the earliest predecessors to the heads of the house of Hohenzollern, of which the Burgraves of Nuremberg, the Electors of Brandenburg, the Kings of Prussia, and the German Emperors were all part, and which still survives today. The next documented member of the dynasty is Burkhard I von Zollern.
