Frank-Paul Santangelo (born October 24, 1967 in Livonia, Michigan) is a former American professional baseball player from the University of Miami, Sacramento City College and Oak Ridge High School (El Dorado Hills, California). Santangelo played in the Major leagues from 1995 to 2001. During his career, Santangelo played for the Montreal Expos, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Oakland Athletics. Santangelo is currently a broadcaster for the Washington Nationals.

Santangelo was drafted in the 20th round of the 1989 Major League Baseball draft by the Montreal Expos organization and rose through the minor leagues, reaching the AAA with the Indianapolis Indians in 1992. He joined the AAA Ottawa Lynx the following year when the Expos changed AAA affiliation and wound up playing three seasons for Ottawa before making his major league debut in August 1995. Santangelo became the first player in Ottawa Lynx history to have his number, 24, retired and hold the club record with 86 runs scored in the 1993 season.

Santangelo made his Major League debut on August 2, 1995 as the starting left fielder against the Florida Marlins. He ground out to third base in his first at-bat but tripled to right field off of Chris Hammond in the 5th inning for his first Major League hit. He was 2 for 3 with an RBI in his debut. He hit his first home run on August 24 off Sergio Valdez of the San Francisco Giants.
