Frank Alonzo Dudley (January 30, 1864 – September 21, 1945) was an American lawyer, politician, hotelier and business owner associated with Niagara Falls, New York. Dudley established the United Hotels Company of America and the "Lewiston Heights" neighborhood in Lewiston, New York.
Frank Alonzo Dudley was born in the Town of Wilson, New York on January 30, 1864. He was the third of five children to John Alexander Dudley (b. 1829), born in Guilford, Connecticut, and Henrietta Wright (1832–1887), born in Lockport, New York. His father was the son of Phineas Dudley Jr. (son of Phineas Dudley (1752–1793)) and Elizabeth Graves, who was a great-granddaughter of Colonial Connecticut Governor John Webster (1590–1661). His maternal grandparents were lthureal Wright and Candace Gaskill.
During his infancy, his parents moved to the Town of Whitewater, Wisconsin, where he lived on a farm until he was about 14 years old. At that point, he moved to the village, now city, of Whitewater, Wisconsin and for the next four years, he attended the district school and subsequently that State Normal School, which later became the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
In 1882, he returned to New York, relocating to Lockport, where he read law with Joshua Gaskill. He was admitted to the bar in June 1886, at the same time as Cuthbert W. Pound. In 1887, he settled permanently in Niagara Falls, New York, where in 1888, he formed a co-partnership with W. Caryl Ely, under the firm name of "Ely & Dudley", which later became "Ely, Dudley & Cohn."
