Frank Lukeman (actually: Francis Lawrence Lukeman ; born June 20, 1885 in Montreal , † December 23, 1946 ) was a Canadian athlete .

At the Olympic Games in London in 1908 , he started in four disciplines. Over 100 m and 200 m he was eliminated in the preliminary run as well as with the Canadian team in the Olympic relay ; in the long jump he came in 13th place.

Four years later, in the pentathlon at the Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912 , he had the same number as James Donahue , who was originally awarded the bronze medal based on the decathlon table. After Jim Thorpe's disqualification, Donahue moved up to silver and Lukeman to bronze. In the decathlon , Lukeman gave up after eight disciplines, over 100 m and in the 4 x 100 meter relay he reached the semifinals, and in the 110 meter hurdles he was eliminated in the preliminary run.
