Frank Wilson Angell (August 6, 1852 – December 16, 1943) was an American architect practicing in Providence, Rhode Island.[1]

Angell began his architectural career in 1872 as a draftsman in the Providence firm of Walker & Gould. By 1880, he had become a prominent designer and was permitted by the partners to take his own commissions. In January of 1881, he and Thomas J. Gould of Walker & Gould left the firm, which would become William R. Walker & Son.[2] The two formed a new partnership, Gould & Angell. In 1893 they added designer Frank H. Swift to the partnership, which became Gould, Angell & Swift. Gould retired from the firm in 1897, and began practicing alone. Angell & Swift continued in practice until 1934, Swift's death. Afterwards, Angell entered semi-retirement, taking occasional work at an office in his Pawtuxet home.

His early life and education is unknown. Upon his death, Angell was Rhode Island's oldest architect.[3]
