Frank Sillmon (born December 19, 1965) is a former American basketball athlete renowned for his collegiate achievements at Alabama State University. During his sophomore year in the 1985–86 season, he earned the distinction of being the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year.

Originating from Talladega, Alabama, Sillmon completed his high school education at Talladega County Training School. In his final year (1984), he delivered an impressive 51-point performance in a single game and was honored as the state's "1A Player of the Year" by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. He began his college career at Alabama State in 1984, competing for two seasons with the Hornets. In that period, he led the conference by averaging 20.3 points per game, which secured him the SWAC Player of the Year award.

After transferring and observing a mandatory hiatus during the 1986–87 season in accordance with NCAA regulations, Sillmon resumed play for two seasons at Alabama A&M as a redshirt junior and senior. His tenure contributed to a remarkable team record of 55–9. He was the leading scorer for Alabama A&M in both seasons, posting averages of 20.6 and 23.0 points per game respectively. His senior year marked new school records in total points scored (736) and scoring average (23.0 points per game). The ESPN College Basketball Encyclopedia has acknowledged him as one of Alabama A&M’s top five players historically.

Post-college, Sillmon pursued a professional basketball career in Finland but did not advance to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
