Frank Fahrenhorst (born September 24, 1977 in Kamen) is a German footballer, currently with Bundesliga team Hannover 96.

The defender turned professional with VfL Bochum in 1996 and remained with them for 8 seasons as they yo-yo'ed between the top two divisions.

In summer 2004, he switched to then-champions Werder Bremen, where he immediately won the Ligapokal against Bayern Munich. The club never managed any further honours during his two seasons there but he did achieve eight appearances in the UEFA Champions League.

On August 9, 2006, he transferred to Hannover 96, as part of the deal which saw Per Mertesacker move in the opposite direction.

He has also played twice for Germany, making his debut against Austria on August 18, 2004, and also playing in a friendly against Brazil the following month.
