Frank Birchenough (born 1898) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League as a goalkeeper for West Ham United and Burnley.[1] Son of former Manchester United goalkeeper Herbert Birchenough.[2]

Birchenough played non-league football with Nantwich.[2] He played a single Second Division game for West Ham United, against Nottingham Forest on 5 April 1920.[1][3]

After a spell at Burnley, where he made two appearances as part of the First Division championship-winning squad of 1920–21,[4] he later played for Whitchurch and Rhyl before returning to Nantwich[1] and later kept goal for Sandbach Ramblers during their 1927-28 Cheshire County League campaign.[2]
