Francisco "Frankie" Lim (born February 23, 1960) is a Filipino basketball coach and former player. He played 15 seasons in the PBA.
Lim played collegiate ball at San Beda College where he was a member of the last championship team that won the NCAA crown in 1978 (it was then followed by a 28-year title drought that ended in 2006). While in the amateur ranks, he suited up for YCO Painters in the old MICAA, which was then coached by Freddie Webb. In 1982, he turned pro after he was signed up by then-PBA team YCO-Tanduay which was also coached by Webb. After spending two seasons with Tanduay, he was acquired by Great Taste, and then by Alaska where he was part of the team's inaugural roster in 1986. After six productive seasons with the Milkmen, he bounced around several teams (Purefoods, Formula Shell, and San Miguel) before calling it quits in 1996.
Throughout his playing career, he was noted as a three-point shooter and a deadly scorer, having set an NCAA record for most points in a single game with 55, which still remains unbroken.
Lim coached the San Beda Red Lions in the NCAA, where he won four titles with the school in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. In 2010, his team posted an immaculate record of 18-0 by sweeping all its opponents from the eliminations to the finals.
In 2012, he resigned, just before he was set to serve a two-year ban from the NCAA for getting involved in a brawl with then San Sebastian College-Recoletos volleyball head coach Roger Gorayeb.
In 2013, he briefly left the Philippines to coach Stadium Jakarta in Indonesia’s National Basketball League.
