Frank Hanna (5 April 1924 – 28 November 2010)[1][2] was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[3]

In 1948 he was badly injured when Jack Dyer strongly bumped him, breaking his collarbone and suffering a concussion. He was carried from the ground on the stretcher and Dyer played the remainder of the game thinking he had killed Hanna.[1][4]

In 1949 he coached the Horsham Football Club before moving to Tasmania in 1950 to coach Yeoman Football Club[5] and then Burnie Football Club from 1951.[6]
