Mannes Francken (20 May 1888 – 19 November 1948) was a Dutch football player, who played for HFC and the Netherlands national team.

He would go on to play 22 caps, scoring 17 goals, including a then national record of three hat-tricks, all of which against Belgium.

[4] Remarkably, 12 of his international goals, including his three hat-tricks, came in friendly cup duels between Dutch and Belgians, a tally that makes him the all-time top scorer in the competition's history, however, if we include the four unofficial trophies between 1901 and 1904 then he shares this position with Herbert Potts of Belgium.

[5] The final of these goals, against Belgium on 9 March 1913, made him the all-time top scorer for the Netherlands, a record he held for more than 20 years, until when on 3 November 1935, Beb Bakhuys of HBS Craeyenhout scored his 18th goal for the Netherlands national team.
