Francis Gilbertson Justice Ford (born 14 December 1866 in Paddington, London; died 7 February 1940 in Burwash, East Sussex, England) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Middlesex County Cricket Club, Cambridge and the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1886 and 1899. He also played five Test matches for England on their tour to Australia in 1894-95. Ford was reckoned to be both a useful batsman and bowler.
Ford, who was nicknamed "Stork" on account of his height, was part of a large cricketing family, with his father, two brothers, a nephew Neville Ford, great-nephew John Barclay and uncle all playing first-class cricket.
