Francis Gilbertson Justice Ford (14 December 1866 in Paddington, London – 7 February 1940 in Burwash, East Sussex, England) was a cricketer.

He played first-class cricket for Middlesex County Cricket Club, Cambridge and the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1886 and 1899 as a useful left-handed batsman and slow left-arm orthodox bowler. He also played five Test matches for England on their tour to Australia in 1894-95.

Ford, who was nicknamed "Stork" on account of his height, was part of a large cricketing family, with his father W.A. , two brothers A.F.J., L.G.B.J. and W.J., a nephew N.M., great-nephew John Barclay and uncle G.J.Ford all playing first-class cricket.
