Frank P. Stallone, Jr. (born July 30, 1950) is an American actor, musician, and singer-songwriter. He is the younger brother of Sylvester Stallone.

Stallone was born in New York City. He is the younger brother of actor Sylvester Stallone and the son of Jacqueline "Jackie" Stallone (née Labofish), an astrologer, former dancer, and promoter of women's wrestling, and Frank Stallone, Sr., a hairdresser. His father was an Italian immigrant, and his mother's family was from Brittany (France) and Ukraine.

In his teen years, he went to Lincoln High School in Northeast Philadelphia. Frank started his career around the time of high school singing on street corners and making money with his guitar.

Stallone has worked as a singer in the tradition of American big band jazz and popular music, in a vocal style reminiscent of his idol Frank Sinatra. He tours with his own orchestra under conductor Paul Vesco, and has also worked with conductors Sammy Nestico and Billy May. Stallone has released a number of albums, including Day In Day Out with Sammy Nestico (1991; A1 Records: FSTCD1) and "Close Your Eyes" with Billy May (1996; Coolnote).

Stallone wrote and performed "Far from Over" for the 1983 film Staying Alive. The song was released mid April 1983. The song peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his only major pop hit. The song was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song from a Motion Picture, and the album for a Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special.
