Frank L. Packard (1877-1942) was a Canadian author best known for his action-packed crime fiction and adventure novels.

His protagonists often found themselves entangled in complex situations involving secret codes, wire tapping, and organized crime, giving his stories a distinctive flair. One of his most famous creations is Jimmie Dale, a gentleman thief who operates under the alias "The Gray Seal," featured in several of Packard's novels.

He was a prolific author, and his works, especially The Wire Devils, remain popular among readers who enjoy classic crime and adventure fiction.
