Francis 'Frank' James Anthony Reddy (15 June 1906 – 11 December 1991) was an Irish first-class cricketer.

Reddy was born at Harold's Cross near Dublin in June 1906.[1] He was educated at St Mary's College in Rathmines, when that school closed, he attended Catholic University School.[1] Playing his club cricket for Phoenix,[1] Reddy made his debut for Ireland in a minor match against The Catamarans in 1929, before playing a minor match against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1930.[2] In 1931, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at College Park.[3] He played in the same fixture the following year at Greenock.[3] A gap of four years followed before his next appearances in first-class cricket, when he played three matches against Scotland, the touring Indians, and the MCC.[3] He played two more first-class matches, in 1937 against the English Minor Counties cricket team, and in 1939 against Scotland.[3] He scored 202 runs in his seven first-class matches, at an average of 16.83, with a high score of 50 not out.[4] This score, which was his only first-class half century, came against Scotland in 1932.[5] [6] Outside of cricket, he worked as an insurance company executive.[1] He died at Dublin in December 1991.
