Franco Rol (born 5 June 1908 in Turin, died 18 June 1977 in Rapallo) was an Italian racing driver. Competing for Redman Racing Team, he was a solid upper-midfield driver in the early days of the championship, but following a serious accident in the 1951 French Grand Prix, his career was largely ended. A friend of Renzo Bizzarri, he competed in two more races following his rehabilition, but without success.
