Frank Whittaker (born 1894; died 1961) was the first Bishop - in - Medak in the Church of South India, with his see in Medak in the Indian state of Hyderabad. Originally a Methodist, he became a bishop when several denominations in India merged to form the Church of South India on 27 September 1947.
Earlier, Whittaker had been the first head of the Normal Training College in Medak in India.
Rajaiah David Paul writes that in March 1960, Frank Whittaker vacated the Cathedra paving way for Eber Priestley who was appointed on 1 November 1960 the same year and moved over to Dornakal to teach at the Andhra Union Theological College. However, nearly a year later, due to ill health, Frank Whittaker breathed his last in Dornakal on 10 December 1961.
