Frank Di Giorgio () is a former city councillor in Toronto, Ontario. He represented Ward 12 York South-Weston for the years 2000-2018 and was the North York City Councillor for Ward 4 for the years 1985–1997.
Background

Political career
Di Giorgio was elected as Ward 4 Councillor to North York's council in the 1985 Toronto election defeating Barb Shiner. He was a close ally of mayor Mel Lastman.
During his time as a North York Councillor, Di Giorgio served as a member of the Executive Committee and chaired all major standing committees, including Works, Transportation, Planning Advisory, Library Board, Parks and Recreation and Capital Planning. His contribution as founding director of the Ford Performing Arts Centre and his help in creating the Capital Planning Committee brought both a knowledgeable voice and prudent change to North York.[1]
In his role as Toronto city councillor Di Giorgio was appointed budget chief under Mayor Rob Ford in 2013.[2]
During the Mayoralty of John Tory he also held important Council committee positions. He was a member of the Executive Committee[3] and sat on the Board of Directors for Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) as the Mayor's designate.[4]
Di Giorgio ran for re-election as Councillor in the newly formed Ward 5 York South-Weston in the 2018 Toronto election and lost to Frances Nunziata.[5]
