Frank Liddell (26 June 1862 20 October 1939) was an Australian politician. Born in Maitland, New South Wales, he was educated at Sydney Grammar School and subsequently attended the University of Edinburgh. He returned as a doctor to Maitland, and was elected to West Maitland Council. In 1903, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Free Trade Party member for Hunter, succeeding Prime Minister Edmund Barton, who was retiring.
