Frans Hendrik Odendaal (1898–1966) (known as Fox Odendaal) was a South African politician, governor of the
Odendaal Commission
In 1962 Odendaal was appointed as head of the officially named "Commission of Enquiry into South-West Africa Affairs." Over time the commission came to be popularly called the "Odendaal Commission". The Commission finished its enquiry towards the end of 1963, but its findings were formally handed early in 1964.
