Frank Collindridge CBE (1891 – 16 October 1951) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.
Born in Barnsley, Collindridge became a coal miner, and became active in the Miners' Federation of Great Britain (MFGB) and the Labour Party. He served on Wombwell Urban District Council from 1920 until 1939, including a stint as chair in 1931/32. In 1937, he served on an MFGB delegation to the Soviet Union, and in 1944 on one to Australia and New Zealand.{{cite book |last1=Stenton |first1=Michael |last2=Lees |first2=Stephen |title=Who's Who of British Members of Parliament |volume=IV |date=1981 |publisher=Harvester Press |location=Brighton |page=67}}
Collindridge was elected as member of parliament (MP) for Barnsley at a by-election in 1938, and represented the constituency until he died during the campaign for the 1951 general election in Barnsley aged 60.
In Clement Attlee's post-war Labour Government he was a government whip, with the formal titles of Lord of the Treasury from 1945 to 1946, and Comptroller of the Household from 1946 to 1951.
