Francis "Frank" Hauāuru Barclay (5 June 1887 – 20 November 1959) (surname Pakere in Māori) was a New Zealand professional rugby league footballer of the 1900s and 1910s. He played at representative level for New Zealand (Heritage № 104), New Zealand Māori, Auckland, and Hawke's Bay, as a Stand-off, i.e. number 6.
Barclay was the brother of the rugby league Forward of the 1900s and 1910s for New Zealand Māori, and North Sydney Bears, Glen Barclay (whose Māori name was Punga Pakere).
