The Frank Worrell Trophy is awarded for the winner of the West Indies – Australia Test match series in cricket.

The trophy is named after the former West Indies captain Sir Frank Worrell and was first awarded at the end of the 1960–61 series. The cricket Board of Control and Sir Donald Bradman commissioned former Test cricketer and professional jeweller Ernie McCormick to create a perpetual trophy. The trophy was to be presented to the winning captain of each Test series between Australia and the West Indies.

The trophy's design incorporated a ball used in the Tied Test. Along with The Ashes, the Frank Worrell Trophy is considered to be one of the most respected trophies in the world of cricket.
