Frank Mace MacFarland (1869–1951) was an American malacologist associated with Stanford University in California. On August 27, 1902, MacFarland married Miss Olive Knowles Hornbrook who helped him with his work, acting as a skilled technician, and as an artist whose delicate watercolor paintings illustrated many of his scientific publications. Frank MacFarland was an authority on the life and habits of nudibranchs and he left unfinished a comprehensive monograph on the group which was published posthumously in 1966.〔MacFarland, F. M. 1966.
