Frank Douglas Howarth Joy (26 September 1880 – 17 February 1966) played first-class cricket for Europeans cricket teams in India and then for Somerset. He was born at Hessle, Yorkshire and died at Winchester, Hampshire. His obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 1967 states that he was the father of Nancy Joy (Sylvia Nancy Wansborough, 1915–1997), who was prominent in women's cricket and wrote books about it.
