Francis Carr Hudspeth (20 April 1890 – 5 February 1963) was an English footballer, who most notably played as a defender for Newcastle United.

During his time at the club he became a popular figure amongst the fans and gained the nickname 'Old Surefoot' for his reliability.

He captained the team from 1923 to 1926 but was demoted to vice-captain following Hughie Gallacher's arrival at the club.

He is second only to Jimmy Lawrence for making the highest number of appearances for Newcastle, taking part in 472 games.
