Frank van den Broek (born 28 December 2000) is a Dutch cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team DSM–Firmenich PostNL.[4]

After winning the national level Tour de Namur in 2022, van den Broek joined UCI Continental team ABLOC CT in 2023. In mid July, he moved to Development Team dsm–firmenich, shortly after taking a stage win at the Tour of Qinghai Lake, his first pro-level victory.[5] In 2024, van den Broek was promoted to the World Tour level with Team dsm–firmenich PostNL. In April, he won stage six of the Tour of Turkey, going on to win the overall title of the race as well.[6] In July, he competed in his first Grand Tour: the Tour de France, where he finished second to team leader Romain Bardet on the first stage, holding off the chasing peloton by five seconds. He subsequently took the lead in both the young rider and points classifications, and was given the combativity award for the day.[7]
