Frank Case (November 7, 1872 – June 7, 1946) was an American hotelier and author.
He owned and managed the Algonquin Hotel during the heyday of the Algonquin Round Table and wrote a number of books about his experiences with the hotel and the Round Tablers. Case worked at the Algonquin from the time it opened in 1902.
It was Case who came up with the hotel's name.
The original owner had wanted to call it "The Puritan." In 1907 Case took over the lease and became manager, eventually buying the hotel in 1927 for $1,000,000.
He remained owner and manager of the Algonquin until his death in 1946.
