Caulie Frank Whitehead (July 2, 1892 – May 16, 1976) was an American politician who served as the mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, from 1945 to 1949.

This plan never came to fruition, but influenced the later construction of the conventional Fuller Warren Bridge.

[2] Whitehead was defeated in the 1949 mayoral race by the upstart W. Haydon Burns, who successfully courted African-American voters to overcome Whitehead.

[3] In Whitehead's later years he owned and ran a room-and-boarding house in Jacksonville.
