Frank Matthew "Duke" Hanny (October 12, 1897 – September 3, 1946) was an American football end who played eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Hanny was the first player to be ejected in an NFL game in history, as he and Green Bay Packers player Tillie Voss exchanged punches in a game.

He died in Aurora, Illinois, on September 3, 1946, after a long illness.[1] He was buried there at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
