American scenic designer
D. Frank Dodge (died April 24, 1952, Burlingame, California) was an American scenic designer who had a prolific career on Broadway from the 1890s into the early 1920s.

After this, he designed sets for more than 80 Broadway shows over the next 26 years. Several of these were created in collaboration with fellow designer William E. Castle with whom he co-founded the design studio Dodge and Castle.
