Franklin Robert Shortreed (September 18, 1875[1] – February 11, 1954[2]) was a political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Happyland in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1922 to 1925 as a Liberal.

He was born the son of Thomas Alex Shortreed and Catherine Reuter, and was educated in Morden, Manitoba.[1] In 1903, Shortreed moved from Manitoba to Tantallon, Saskatchewan, where he served as postmaster and operated a lumber and implement business. He moved with his family to the Maple Creek area, where he settled on a farm, in 1909. Shortreed later served as reeve for the local municipality.[2] He was first elected to the provincial assembly in a 1922 by-election held following the death of Stephen Morrey.[1]
