Frank Gill (10 December 1908 – 23 June 1970) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the VFL. He is a member of the Carlton Hall of Fame.
Gill was a full back and was one of the longest kickers of the ball in his time. He represented Victoria in 1932 and captained Carlton the following season. He was a premiership player with Carlton in 1938; in a memorable grand final performance, he struggled early at full back against prolific Collingwood full forward Ron Todd, conceding two early goals from free kicks; but was lauded for later dominating a rotation through the rucks during which Carlton kicked four goals in five minutes before half time.
In 1939 he won Carlton's best and fairest..
