Francis Thomas "Frank" Mann (3 March 1888 in Winchmore Hill, Middlesex – 6 October 1964 in Milton Lilbourne, Wiltshire) was an English cricketer. He played for Cambridge University, Middlesex and England. Mann captained England on the 1922-23 tour of South Africa, winning the five match series 2-1.

During World War I he was an officer of the Scots Guards and was three times wounded and three times mentioned in dispatches.

His son, George Mann, also captained Middlesex CCC and England, making them the first father and son to have both captained Middlesex and England at cricket. Simon Mann, the security expert and mercenary, is his grandson.
