Frank Copland Hutchison (25 January 1897 – 17 December 1990) was a New Zealand sportsman. He played six first-class cricket matches for Otago, three in each of the 1917–18 and 1919–20 seasons.[1]

Hutchison was born at Dunedin in 1897 and educated at Otago Boys' High School in the city.[2] He made his first-class debut for Otago in a December 1917 match against Canterbury at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch before playing in both of Otago's other first-class matches during the season. His other three first-class appearances came in Otago's first three representative matches in the 1919–20 season. Playing as a batsman, Hutchison scored a total of 144 runs with a highest score of 85, his only first-class half-century.[3]

A medical doctor by profession, Hutchison played Hawke Cup cricket for Wanganui from the 1923–24 season to 1927–28.[2][3] As well as cricket he played representative rugby union for Otago and Wellington and golf for Taranaki, Wanganui and Manawatu. He was the national veterans golf champion.[2]

Hutchison died at Wanganui in 1990. He was aged 93.[1]
