Péter Frankl (born 26 March 1953 in Kaposvár, Somogy County, Hungary) is a mathematician, street performer, columnist and educator, active in Japan.

[3] Frankl studied mathematics at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest and submitted his PhD thesis while still an undergraduate.

Zsolt Baranyai helped Frankl to get a scholarship in France, where he became a CNRS research fellow.

[citation needed] For 1984 to 1990, Frankl and Akiyama worked hard organizing a Japanese mathematical Olympiad team, and as a consequence the Japanese team is now a regular participant of the International Mathematical Olympiad.

[citation needed] With Norihide Tokushige he is the coauthor of the book Extremal Problems For Finite Sets (American Mathematical Society, 2018).
