Frank Ernest Sandercock (August 16, 1887 – October 27, 1942) was a Canadian ice hockey administrator. He served as president of both the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association, and had previously been an executive with the Ontario Hockey Association and founded a hockey organization to operate leagues in Calgary. He was an early proponent of junior ice hockey and senior ice hockey in Alberta, fostered growth in the game, and sought to reinvest profits into minor ice hockey for the younger generation.
Sandercock had the Allan Cup championship format for senior hockey in Canada changed from a two-game series decided on total goals into a best-of-three games series which led to increased profits. The CAHA had become the largest amateur sport body in Canada by 1928, and control of the Allan Cup was transferred from its trustees to the association. He is the namesake of two trophies awarded for junior hockey competition in Alberta, and was made a life member of the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association.
