Peter-Herbert Frank[1] (born 5 May 1968) is a German jurist who is currently serving as a judge in the Federal Constitutional Court in the second senate.

However, Frank was nominated to the position in August 2015 by Federal Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection Heiko Maas, after Harald Range was forced to retire in the wake of the netzpolitik.org "Treason" scandal.

[6][5] His first case as the Public Prosecutor General became the investigation over the stabbing of the independent politician of Henriette Reker[7] by a right wing militant.
