William Howard Frankland (November 26, 1901December 1980) was an American businessman who proposed the W. Howard Frankland Bridge over Old Tampa Bay.
The son of a horse buggy seller, he arrived in Tampa, Florida in 1925 from Jackson, Tennessee. He founded Pioneer Tire as well as Rubber Products, Inc., and was a banker as well as a member of the Florida State Road Board.〔Canning, Michael (August 16, 2002) "Howard Frankland: Bridge boosted corridor growth" (August 16, 2002) ''St. Petersburg Times''.〕
Frankland proposed a new bridge as he felt the land between the existing Gandy Bridge to the south and the Courtney Campbell Causeway to the north was ripe for development.〔Canning, Michael (August 16, 2002) "Howard Frankland: Bridge boosted corridor growth" (August 16, 2002) ''St. Petersburg Times''.〕 He and his family participated in the opening ceremonies for the span on January 15, 1960.〔Blizin, Jerry "Franklands to Play Key Role in Bridge Opening" (January 15, 1960) ''St. Petersburg Times'', p. B-1〕
Frankland died in 1980 at age 79 in Tampa.〔Social Security Death Index〕 Frankland Road in Tampa's Golfview neighborhood is also named for him.
