Leo Max Frank (17 de abril de 1884 – 17 de agosto de 1915) foi um norte-americano que se tornou o único judeu conhecido a ser linchado em solo americano.^[1]^[2]^[3] Gerente de uma fabrica em Atlanta, Geórgia, Frank foi acusado de estuprar e matar uma garota de 13 anos chamada Mary Phagan.^[4] Logo após a condenação de Leo Frank, novas evidências surgiram pondo em cheque sua real culpa.^[5] Após o governador conceder misericórdia livrando-o da pena de morte, Frank foi raptado da prisão e linchado por um grupo de pessoas que se auto-intitulavam "Cavaleiros de Mary Phagan".^[6] Há rumores de que o grupo era formado por filhos de congressistas, advogados, entre outras pessoas de altos cargos na justiça.^[7]

- Dinnerstein, Leonard. The Leo Frank Case, p. 162. Dinnerstein quotes John Roche, who he writes chronicled the development of civil rights in the 20th century: "As one who has read the trial record half a century later, I might add... that Leo Frank was the victim of circumstantial evidence which would not hold up ten minutes in a normal courtroom then or now." Dinnerstein writes that Harry Golden echoed Roche's opinion that no one would be convicted today on the same evidence.
