Neil Laverne Frank (born September 11, 1931) is an American meteorologist and former director of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Florida.

Prior to his graduate studies in meteorology, Frank served in the United States Air Force where he received training as a weather officer.

The only remaining communications link between the Hurricane Center and Brownsville was the amateur radio station on battery power.

NHC and Brownsville discussed the strange behavior of the eye of Hurricane Allen while it stalled just off the Texas Coast for almost 2 hours.

Frank is a signatory to An Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming,[14] which claims that "Earth and its ecosystems – created by God's intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting.
