Francesco "Frankie" Provenzano (born February 12, 1986 in Rome) is an Italian racing driver.
Provenzano began his formula racing career with the BVM Minardi team in Italian Formula Renault, finishing second to Jaime Alguersuari in the 2006 Winter Series – finishing three of the four races on the podium. This was after he failed to score any points in the main championship; his best finish was 13th at Spa. He also competed in two races of the 2006 Formula Renault Eurocup.
Provenzano also competed in two races of the 2006 Euroseries 3000 championship, driving for a team backed by former Formula One entrants Coloni. He did not score any points, ending up with a tenth-place finish and a retirement in the two races at Vallelunga.
Provenzano moved to the newly created International Formula Master series for 2007, driving for the ADM Motorsport team. He finished twentieth overall in that year, amassing seven points at the Brands Hatch meeting with a fifth and sixth. Provenzano did somewhat better in the concurrent Formula Master Italia championship by taking third place in the championship. He remained in the series for 2008, but could not improve on his previous 20th position in the championship.
Provenzano took part in the British round of the 2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season as a rookie driver for A1 Team Italy. This meant that he took part in an extra practice session prior to the event, before handing the car back to regular driver Edoardo Piscopo for the remainder of the weekend.
