Angela Franke (born 18 November 1957) is a retired German swimmer. She competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in the 400 m individual medley, but failed to reach the final.[1]

Between 1973 and 1975 she won two gold, two silver and one bronze medals in various freestyle and medley events at the world and European championships. On 18 August 1973 she set a world record in the 400 m individual medley at 5:01.10, and two weeks later, at the 1973 World Aquatics Championships, improved it to 5:00.37; yet she lost to her team mate Gudrun Wegner who swam 4:57.51.[2][3]
