Frank Aloysius Costa AO (3 February 1938 – 2 May 2021[2]) was an Australian businessman. Costa had been a prominent figure in the Geelong region for more than four decades after inheriting Costa Group, the family's produce business, in the late 1950s. Initially privately-held, the Costa Group became the largest service wholesaler of fruit and vegetables in Australia with operations in five states. In 2015 the company was floated on the Australian Securities Exchange as Costa Group Holdings Limited.[3]

In 1998, Frank Costa became president of the Geelong Football Club.
