Frank Hasenfratz (1935 – January 8, 2022) was a Hungarian-born Canadian billionaire businessman, the founder and owner of Linamar, Canada's second largest auto parts manufacturer, with 26,000 employees at the time of his death.

At the time of his death, the company employed 26,000 people in 17 countries.

Hasenfratz's 23.6% stake in the company, plus share sales, dividends, and other asset groupings gave him a net worth of approximately $1 billion.
