"Our Frank" was a single by Morrissey released in February 1991. It was the first single taken from the Kill Uncle album. It was also the first of his collaborations with Mark Nevin to be released.
Despite being released before the album that spawned it, the single only reached number 26 in the British singles chart, showing the Morrissey could no longer rely on an automatic top 20 spot. This was the lowest any Morrissey single had charted since his first release Suedehead in 1988.
