Professor Carlos Silvestre Frenk (born October 27, 1951) is a Mexican-British cosmologist. His main interests lie in the field of cosmology, galaxy formation and computer simulations of cosmic structure formation.

He is currently the Ogden Professor of Fundamental Physics and Director of the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University and Principal Investigator of the Virgo Consortium.

He received a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Cambridge in 1981. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society. He repeatedly struggles with current technology (e.g. lecture room lighting), despite running a supercomputer[1].
