Pinkus Friedrich Frankl (Hebrew: פנחס פראנקל; February 28, 1848 – August 22, 1887) was a German rabbi and scholar.
Pinkus Friedrich Frankl was born in Ungarisch-Brod, Moravia, in 1848. He received his education at the yeshivah in Pressburg, and later prepared for the rabbinate at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau. Simultaneously, he pursued studies in Orientalia at the university of the same city, earning his doctoral degree in 1870.
In 1875, Frankl assumed the position of secretary of the Wiener Israelitische Allianz. In 1877, he succeeded Abraham Geiger as rabbi in Berlin. Frankl's responsibilities expanded in 1881 when he also took on a teaching role at the Lehranstalt für die Wissenschaft des Judenthums, lecturing in Jewish philosophy, medieval Hebrew literature, and homiletics. During this period, he collaborated with Heinrich Graetz on the publication of the Monatsschrift für die Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judenthums.
