Francis J. Gorman (November 19, 1924 — July 8, 1987) was an American Democratic Party politician who served seven terms in the New Jersey General Assembly.
[2] Gorman served with Kenneth A. Gewertz from 1972 to 1974 representing District 3B in the New Jersey General Assembly.
In 1979, James Florio, then a Congressman, encouraged Daniel Dalton and Dennis L. Riley to run in the June primary under the label of the "Florio Democratic Team" against incumbents Gewertz and Gorman, who had the support of Angelo Errichetti and the Camden County Democratic Organization.
He was elected together with Wayne R. Bryant and represented the 5th Legislative District from 1982 until March 16, 1987, when Gorman resigned from the New Jersey General Assembly because of poor health.
In a July 1987 special election, Joseph J. Roberts was chosen to fill Gorman's vacant seat.
