Frank Sylvester "Silver" Flint (August 3, 1855 – January 14, 1892) was a catcher in Major League Baseball. He played 13 seasons of major league baseball for the St. Louis Red Stockings, Indianapolis Blues and Chicago White Stockings.

For about two decades, Flint was the only major league player to have caught three no-hitters. He was known as a hard-nosed player, catching with his bare hands and playing through frequent broken bones in his hands.
