Robert J. Frankel (born July 9,1941 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American thoroughbred race horse trainer. He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1995.

Frankel is an avid follower of the training techniques of the late and great Charlie Whittingham, trainer of champions such as "Ferdinand" and "Sunday Silence". Frankel has won several Eclipse Awards, the year-end horse racing awards, for best trainer. He has set earnings records, Grade I Stakes victories records, and many others. Some of his best horses include Squirtle Squirt, his first Breeders' Cup winner; Sightseek, winner of the Humana Distaff (gr. I) and Ogden Phipps H. (gr. I); triple grade I winner; Empire Maker, victor of the Belmont Stakes (gr. I); two-time Santa Anita H. (gr. I) winner Milwaukee Brew; and Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. I) winner Starine, whom he also owned.

On June 26, 2005, the horse Wild Desert, owned by several businesspeople including New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, gave Frankel his first victory in the $1 million Queen's Plate, the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown at Woodbine Racetrack.
