The Cox Twins, Frank and Fred, (born 1920), are British entertainers in the Music Hall tradition. They are twin brothers.

Their career began with Steffani's Songsters and they then appeared in the Ralph Reader RAF Gang Shows during World War II, touring Europe and North Africa. Later they went into Variety, performing in summer seasons and pantomime. They married twins sisters, Estelle and Pauline Miles, who became part of their act. In 1972 they appeared as Tweedledum and Tweedledee in a film version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

When Frank's wife, Estelle, died in 1984, Fred’s wife continued to appear, the act being known as "The Cox Twins and Pauline". They have been presented with Lifetime Achievement Rose Bowls by the British Music Hall Society.

As of 2007, their public appearances were limited to RAF reunions. Frank Cox died on November 7, 2007.
