Trevor John Franklin (born 18 March 1962) is a New Zealand former cricketer who played 21 Tests and three One Day Internationals for New Zealand. He played first-class cricket for Auckland from 1980 to 1993.

Franklin was known for his stoicism as a right-handed opening batsman. He scored his only Test century against England at Lord's in 1990, when he reached his century after 431 minutes and was out next ball.[1] Over his Test career he had a meagre strike rate of 26.44.[2] He was also known for strange injuries, including shattering his leg when he was run over by a motorised luggage trolley at Gatwick Airport in 1986 which kept him out of cricket for 18 months.[3]
