Frank Ford (25 December 1907 – 8 March 1974) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond and Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Ford, a rover and forward, was the leading goal-kicker in the 1929 Bendigo Football League season with 62 goals. The Sandhurst player made 16 appearances for Richmond in 1931.[1] The last of those was their 1931 VFL Grand Final loss, which he started from a forward pocket.

He joined Essendon in 1932 and was their third leading goal-kicker in his debut season in 22 goals. After one more season he returned to Bendigo and resumed at Sandhurst.[2]
