Sir Frank Merry Stenton (1880–September 15, 1967) was a noted 20th century historian of Anglo-Saxon England.

Stenton was a professor of history at the University of Reading (1926–1946) and subsequently the university's vice-chancellor (1946–1950). He was the author of Anglo-Saxon England, a volume of the Oxford History of England, first published in 1943 and widely considered a classic history of the period.

His wife, Doris Mary Stenton, wrote a preface to the third edition of Anglo-Saxon England, published after his death. She was a historian in her own right, producing English Society in the Early Middle Ages for the Pelican History of England.
