Francis James (Frank) Oliver was a New Zealand rugby union player. He was born in Dunedin on December 24, 1948, making his provincial debut for Southland in 1969. He later also played for Otago and Manawatu.
Oliver played in the forwards as a lock, and played 43 international matches for the All Blacks, 17 of them full test appearances, between 1976 and 1981. After retiring from playing in 1983, Oliver went into coaching, coaching the Manawatu provincial team from 1995-1997 and then the Wellington Hurricanes and the Auckland Blues Super 14 sides.
Oliver's son Anton followed in his father's footsteps, representing both Otago and New Zealand, and being All Black Captain.
