Francis Tierney "Frank" Gray (born 27 October 1954 in Castlemilk, Scotland) is a Scottish football manager and former footballer. Gray played for Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Darlington, while he also represented Scotland 32 times.

Gray has managed Darlington, Farnborough Town, Grays Athletic, Woking, Basingstoke Town and Bashley.

Gray was one of the new generation of Leeds United players of the mid-1970s charged with the task of maintaining the club's success after the Don Revie era.

Gray, younger brother of Eddie, joined the club under Revie as a 17-year-old midfielder and made his debut in 1973, scoring a goal in his first start. Revie had lost regular left back Terry Cooper to a broken leg the year before and needed to find replacements, and Gray was given his chance as a left-back as a result.

He did not stay in the side, with a reshuffled defence allowing Trevor Cherry to take the left back spot for the end of the season which consisted of two cup finals (the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup) both of which Leeds lost. Revie did invite Gray to travel with the squad to Wembley and he sat next to his manager during the defeat to Sunderland.
