Frank Hillyard Swinstead (6 August 1862 – 6 December 1937) was an English first-class cricketer and artist.

Swinstead was born at Chelsea to Charles Swinstead, the master of the North London School of Art, and his second wife, Jane Swinstead (née Hillyard).[1] He was educated at the North London School of Art, before attending the Royal College of Art and Académie Julian in Paris.[1] After graduating, he became an art master, taking over the Hornsey College of Art (formerly the North London School of Art) from his father following his death in 1890.[1][2] Two years prior to taking over the college, Swinstead appeared in a first-class cricket match for the Gentlemen of England against Cambridge University at Cambridge.[3] He married Lilie Caroline Drew in 1890, with the couple having three sons.[1] He made a second appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Worcestershire at Lord's in 1900.[3] He later became the principle of the Willesden Polytechnic School of Art and was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1908.[1] He exhibited three paintings of various scenes from Suffolk to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1929.[1] He died at Hornsey Central Hospital in December 1937.[1]
