Lived 1891 – 1951 (aged 59–60). Frank Collindridge was a British politician.

Frank Collindridge CBE (1891 – 16 October 1951) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.

Born in Barnsley, Collindridge became a coal miner, and became active in the Miners' Federation of Great Britain (MFGB) and the Labour Party. He served on Wombwell Urban District Council from 1920 until 1939, including a stint as chair in 1931/32. In 1937, he served on an MFGB delegation to the Soviet Union, and in 1944 on one to Australia and New Zealand.
