Frank Angell was an early American psychologist. He earned his PhD in the Leipzig laboratory of Wilhelm Wundt. He then founded the experimental psychology laboratories at Cornell University (1891) and Stanford University (1892). He remained at Stanford for the rest of his career, working primarily on psychophysics and as director of athletics (services for which a track stadium at Stanford was named after him).

He was the nephew of University of Michigan president James B. Angell, and cousin of Yale University president James R. Angell.[1]
