Franka Dietzsch (born 22 January 1968) is a German former discus thrower best known for winning gold medals at three World Championships in Athletics.

After spending a year away from the field due to health problems, she returned to competition at the Wiesbaden meet.

She finished in second place with 61.49 metres, remaining focused on defending her discus World Champion at the 2009 World Championships,[1] at which she finished 23rd at 58.44 metres, failing to qualify for the final.

She retired the same year as one of the few remaining athletes to have represented East Germany internationally.

This result ranks her ninth among German discus throwers, behind Gabriele Reinsch, Ilke Wyludda, Diana Gansky-Sachse, Irina Meszynski, Gisela Beyer, Martina Hellmann-Opitz, Evelin Jahl and Silvia Madetzky.
