Thomas Frank (Danish pronunciation: [ˈtsʰʌmæs ˈfʁɑŋk]; born 9 October 1973) is a Danish professional football manager who is the head coach of Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

After 18 years in youth coaching, which included spells as manager of multiple Danish national youth teams, Frank became a senior manager with Brøndby in 2013. After his departure in 2016, he moved to English club Brentford as assistant head coach, and was promoted into the role of head coach in October 2018. At the end of the 2020–21 season, Frank became only the second Brentford head coach or manager to achieve promotion to the top-flight of English football.

Over the following four seasons, Frank guided Brentford into becoming a mainstay in the Premier League, with his pragmatic tactics and player management on a limited transfer budget receiving widespread praise. In June 2025, Frank departed from Brentford after seven years at the club to join Tottenham Hotspur.
