Frank Lloyd Wright (właśc. Frank Lincoln Wright, FLW, ur. 8 czerwca 1867 w Richland Center w stanie Wisconsin, zm. 9 kwietnia 1959 w Phoenix, stan Arizona, USA) – amerykański architekt modernistyczny, jeden z najważniejszych projektantów XX wieku. Tworzył projekty mebli, lamp i witraży. Czerpał natchnienie z natury, a do swych prac wykorzystywał naturalne materiały budowlane. Choć jego projekty stały się inspiracją dla rozwoju stylu międzynarodowego, nie identyfikował się z nim i nie podzielał fascynacji funkcjonalistyczną sztuką architektoniczną – można go nazwać prekursorem architektury organicznej, czyli wkomponowanej i zespolonej z naturą. Jego budowle charakteryzowała przy prostocie bryły i dużej funkcjonalności rzutu ornamentyka, także w postaci ukrytego ornamentu, nie stronił też od form monumentalnych (Civic Center w Marin County, Kalifornia).
