Francis George Bonner (12 October 1924 - 5 January 2013) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played for South Sydney in the 1940s.

Bonner, a fullback, made his first-grade debut in the 1944 NSWRFL season, having started the year with the thirds. He impressed as a goalkicker in just his second first-grade appearance, with seven goals from nine attempts in a win over Eastern Suburbs.[2] Following 24 premiership games, he left South Sydney for the Corrimal Cougars in 1948.[3]
