Frank J. Dochnal (born October 8, 1920 in St. Louis, Missouri) is a former race car driver from the USA. He had some success in local racing in Missouri before making a single attempt to qualify for a Formula One Grand Prix at the age of 42, with a Cooper T53 in the 1963 Mexican Grand Prix. Unfortunately, this bid failed after he crashed during unofficial practice. At this point he retired from race driving and continued to work as a race mechanic.
