Francis James 'Frank' Narvo (born c1934) was an Australian rugby league player of the 1950s.

Son of the great Herb Narvo, Frank Narvo started his career at St George Dragons as a junior, and later played two seasons in first grade between 1952 and 1953. He moved to Newtown in 1954 and played seven seasons with the club before retiring at the end of the 1960 season.[1] He played in two losing grand final teams with Newtown. He scored a try in the 1954 Grand Final, but Newtown were beaten by South Sydney Rabbitohs 23-15. The following year he again played for Newtown in the 1955 Grand Final, and again they played Souths, and were again defeated although this time by the slenderest of margins 12–11. Frank Narvo played second-row in both matches.[2]
