Frank H. Kimbrough (June 24, 1904 – February 4, 1971) was the football head coach for the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys, Baylor Bears, and West Texas A&M Buffaloes. He is the brother of former Texas A&M star player John Kimbrough.

Kimbrough began his college coaching career at Hardin-Simmons in 1935. After finishing the 1940 season with a perfect 9–0 record, Kimbrough – at age 37 – was hired by Baylor, replacing Morley Jennings. After mediocre results in his first three seasons, Kimbrough resigned after Baylor went 1–8 in 1946. He was immediately hired by West Texas A&M, where he coached the following eleven years. In 1950 his team went 10–1, including a Sun Bowl win over Cincinnati. Kimbrough retired in 1957 to become the schools athletic director. The Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in Canyon, Texas is named in his honor.
