Franck Songo'o (born May 14, 1987 in Yaounde, Cameroon) is a French football player, currently playing for Preston North End on loan from Portsmouth. He is the son of former Cameroonian national team goalkeeper Jacques Songo'o, who featured for Spanish side Deportivo La Coruña in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Although he was born in Cameroon, he has represented the French under-19 international team. He came through the youth ranks at Barcelona.

Franck Songo'o is highly rated around Europe and during the summer he was close to a loan move to FC Nantes before the move broke down after Songo'o claimed he wanted to stay and fight for his place. On 31 August 2005 Portsmouth signed him for a fee of £250,000. On October 20, 2006 he joined League 1 side Bournemouth on a one-month loan^[1], making 4 league appearances for Bournemouth. On 8th March 2007 he signed for Championship club Preston North End on loan until the end of the season.^[2]
