Franjo Frankopan (Latin Francisci Frangepanibus, Hungarian Ferenc Frangepán) was a Croatian Latinist.
Frankopan was the son of Ivan Frankopan Cetinski. His name was Ivan but after joining the Franciscan order he took the name Franjo. He followed the steps of his uncle Grgur and became archbishop of Kalocsa and bishop of Eger. He also served as diplomat on the court of Janos Zapolya. In 1541, he attended the Diet of Regensburg where he made a speech against the Turks (Oratio reverendissimi in Christo patris) which was soon printed.
