Frank Lemme (born September 28, 1962 ) is a former German handball referee . He belonged to the NHV / Sachsen-Anhalt and has been an arbitrator since 1974. Since 1990 he and his team partner Bernd Ullrich belonged to the DHB squad and had led more than 550 DHB games with him. From 1994 to 2009 he was also in the EHF / IHF squad and had whistled over 180 international games. Lemme / Ullrich were voted the best referee team in the 2005/06, 2006/07 and 2007/08 Bundesliga seasons.

Both whistled, among other things, the final of the handball world championship 2005 between Croatia and Spain and the Olympic final of the men in Beijing in 2008 between France and Iceland.

On April 30, 2006, one day after Franke Lemme and Bernd Ullrich had whistled the final second leg in the European Cup Winners' Cup between Medvedi Chekhov and BM Valladolid , a plastic bag with 50,000 US dollars was found in Bernd Ullrich's luggage  during a customs check at Moscow 's Sheremetyevo Airport confiscated. While Moscow had lost the game in Spain by seven goals, the team won the home game by eight goals and won the European Cup Winners' Cup. Both referees reported the incident at customs almost three years late at the beginning of March 2009. As a first consequence, the German Handball Federation suspended the Lemme / Ullrich referee team from playing, and the European handball federation later banned them for five years.

On January 10, 2010, Frank Lemme and Bernd Ullrich announced their resignation as referees.
