Franklyn Michael David Knill (born 22 December 1941) is a Welsh former rugby union international.

Knill was born in Monkton, Pembrokeshire, and attended Pembroke Grammar School.[1]

A tighthead prop, Knill was regarded as one of the best scrummagers in the country.[2] He played much of his rugby with Cardiff and was capped once for the national team, as a substitute for Graham Price in a win over France in the 1976 Five Nations, which secured the grand slam for Wales. After leaving Cardiff, he served as captain of Penarth.[3]

Knill, now retired, was a Detective Sergeant with South Wales Police.[4]
