Frank Morrill Jordan (August 6, 1888 – March 30, 1970) was the 22nd Secretary of State of California. He was the son of Frank Chester Jordan, California's Secretary of State from 1911 to 1940. When the younger Jordan defeated interim appointee Paul Peek in 1942, he became the first man in the history of California to be elected to succeed his father in a state constitutional office. His early death in office is notable for indirectly launching the career of Jerry Brown.
