Frank Stokes (born 7 June 1881 in Burslem, Staffordshire, died 1945) was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back. He made 213 appearances in all competitions for Small Heath (later Birmingham) in seven years before a serious knee injury forced his retirement. He was a muscular yet mobile defender, and formed an excellent full-back pairing with Jack Glover. He played in several England trials but was not selected.
