Frank Curtis (12 November 1890 – 1957) was a Welsh footballer, who played in the Football League for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Reading.

Career

Curtis joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in June 1914 from his hometown club Llanelli. He made his league debut on 1 September 1914 in a 1–1 draw at Clapham Orient and ended the season as Wolves' leading goalscorer with 25 goals.

The outbreak of the First World War halted his league career for four years, and he made just three further appearances for the club afterward. He left to join Reading, newly elected to the Football League, in Summer 1920.

He later served non-league Bilston United and Kidderminster Harriers before retiring to work in engineering in his native South Wales.
