Frank Marth (born July 29, 1922, New York City) is an American film and television actor, best-known as a cast member of Cavalcade of Stars (1949; 1950-1957), especially The Honeymooners segments.

He was the tall, fair-haired (6' 1½"; 1.87 m) cast member who played various recurring and one-time roles on The Honeymooners. He was, among other characters, one of the brutal hoods who hold the Kramdens hostage after Ralph Kramden witnesses a bank robbery; he was Harvey Walstatter, who hires Alice Kramden to babysit his son, Harvey, Jr.; and he was the inquiring news photographer who lands Ralph Kramden in hot water after he quotes Kramden as declaring that he is the head of his household (prompting Ralph to try to hide the newspaper from his wife).

Marth also played otherwise anonymous policemen, bus drivers, Raccoon Lodge members, newsmen and passersby. He is one of the few surviving male actors from Cavalcade of Stars and The Honeymooners.

His career ran from 1952 until 1994.
