Francis William Pember JP (16 August 1862 — 19 January 1954) was an English first-class cricketer, lawyer and an academic at the University of Oxford.

He was warden of All Souls College at Oxford for eighteen years, and would serve as Vice-Chancellor of the university in the late-1920s.

[6][7] He was credited with leading All Souls, the only Oxford graduate college, to adapt to the changed conditions and needs of Oxford following the First World War, with Pember overseeing the drawing up of the new statutes of All Souls in accordance with the recommendations of the Universities Commission.

[8] He was Vice-Chancellor until 1929, serving the final year of his Vice-Chancellorship alongside his friend, Lord Grey of Fallodon, who had been elected Chancellor in 1928.

As a result, he sold Broncroft Castle and moved to live with his daughter in Newnham, Cambridgeshire.
