Frank Arnold Harrigan (c. 1904 – after 1934) was an American basketball player. As a student at the University of Michigan, he was a member of the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team from 1925 to 1928. He was the leading scorer on the 1925–26 and 1926-27 teams that won consecutive Big Ten Conference championships. He was also the captain of the 1927–28 team and the first Michigan basketball player to score over 100 points in three consecutive seasons. He continued playing organized basketball for several years after graduating from Michigan and was selected as an AAU All-American while playing AAU basketball for the Cook Paint and Varnish team that won the 1929 national championship. He later played semi-professional basketball for the Akron Goodyears from 1931 to 1934.
Harrigan was born in Hairwood, West Virginia in approximately 1904, but moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan as a child. At the time of the 1910 United States Census, Harrigan was living in Grand Rapids with his parents, Archibald Harrigan and Adelia Belle (Callaway) Harrigan, and three younger siblings. His father was employed as a superintendent for a plaster manufacturer. At the time of the 1920 Census, Harrigan remained living with his family in Grand Rapids. He graduated from Florence Union High School in 1923. While at Florence Union, he was the captain of the 1923 basketball team and was a member of the football and track teams, glee club, and art club. The Florence Union yearbook for 1923 said of Harrigan: "His fame was great in all the land."
