Frank Cunningham was a Canadian lawyer and public servant.
The Canadian Labor Defence League sent Cunningham along with Soloman Greenberg and W. H. Heffarnan to hear the cases of miners who had been arrested during the Saskatchewan Miner's struggle of 1931.
In 1950 he was appointed the deputy commissioner of Northwest territories and was posted to Ottawa from Yellowknife.
He was the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories and the Deputy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories from 26 June 1951 to 10 April 1957.[6] He was also the director of Northern Administration and Lands Branch of the Department of Northern Affairs[7][8] and the director of Arctic affairs in 1956.
Cunningham lived in Ottawa. He retired from public service on 8 November 1963[3] and died in 1964.[2] Robert Gordon Robertson mentioned in his book Memoirs of a Very Civil Servant: Mackenzie King to Pierre Trudeau that though he was not imaginative, he had an encyclopedic knowledge of administrative details.[9]
