Frank Cogan (born 1944 in Cork, Ireland) is an Irish former sportsperson. He played Gaelic football with his local club Nemo Rangers and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team from 1966 until 1974. Cogan later served as manager of the team.Frank is a member of the Cork back room team since 1987.
Cogan played his club football with the famous Nemo Rangers club and enjoyed much success. He lined out in his first senior county championship final in 1970, however, Muskerry defeated Nemo in their first final appearance. Two years later Cogan captured that elusive county winners' medal when Nemo Rangers defeated UCC. Nemo's march to success continued later in the year as the club captured the Munster club title before Cogan lined out in the All-Ireland final.St. Vincent's of Dublin provided the opposition, however, a late Jimmy Keaveney point forced a draw and a replay. First-half goals in the replay by Jimmy Barrett and Billy Cogan were followed by two more Liam Goode and Séamus Coughlan goals in the second-half. The final score of 4-6 to 0-10 gave Cogan a first All-Ireland club winners' medal.
Two years later in 1974 Cogan added a second county championship winners' medal to his collection. A second Munster club title quickly followed, before Nemo booked their place in another All-Ireland final. UCD provided the opposition on that occasion, however, Cogan's side were defeated by 1-11 to 0-12. 1975 saw Cogan capture a third county title. A third Munster club winners' medal soon followed, however, Nemo were trounced in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final.
