Frank Lappin Horsfall, Jr. (Seattle, December 14, 1906 – New York City, February 19, 1971) was an American microbiologist specializing in pathology. He worked at the Rockefeller Institute, New York, from 1934 to 1960[1] and in the early 1950s ran the Virology Laboratory there.[2] The Tamm–Horsfall protein was first purified in 1952 during his work with Igor Tamm.[3]

He was elected in 1948 a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences.[4] He was later elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1956 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1967.[5][6] He was the president of the American Association of Immunologists for the academic year 1967–1968.[7]

A collection of his papers is held at the National Library of Medicine.[1]
