Frank George Roberts (born 27 February 1912) was an Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda and Melbourne in the VFL.
While at St Kilda Roberts played as a forward, kicking 24 goals in his debut season and another 20 the following year. He spent 1935 playing back home at Sandhurst and in 1936 returned to the league with Melbourne.

He played at fullback on Richmond star Jack Titus in the 1940 Grand Final and again finished on the winning side.
