Francis "Frank" Gailey (21 January 1882 – 10 July 1972) was an Australian-born American competition swimmer who swam in the 1904 Summer Olympics held in St.
Louis, Missouri.
Gailey was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, but later emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized U.S.
citizen in 1906.
For the 1904 Olympics, he was sponsored by the Olympic Club of San Francisco.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially counts Gailey's four medals for the United States, although research undertaken by several Australian newspapers in 2008–09 showed that Gailey was an Australian citizen at the time.
The next day Gailey competed in his other two events the 440 yard freestyle, where again he finished second to Charles Daniels, and then the German Emil Rausch beat him in the 880 yard freestyle, so in his two days of events he finished with 3 silver medals and one bronze.
