Frank Rutherford (born November 23, 1964) is a retired triple jumper from Bahamas. He competed in three Olympic Games, and won a bronze medal in 1992, becoming the first Bahamian Olympic medalist. He also is the guardian of Dwight Miller, Alex Cooper, Probese Leo, Rico Forbes, WinZ Ez, and Mikhail Mclean. He watches all their games and provides them with a house. He coaches them in the hopes that they will one day be in the NBA or play on an European team.
His personal best was 17.41 metres, a Bahamian record that has later been beaten by Leevan Sands.
