Francis Patrick Ferran (died 10 June 1923) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician and medical practitioner. He was elected unopposed as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála (TD) to the Second Dáil at the 1921 elections for the Sligo–Mayo East constituency.[1] He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and voted against it. He was elected as an anti-Treaty Sinn Féin TD at the 1922 general election but did not take his seat.[2] He died while imprisoned by the pro-Treaty government during the Irish Civil War at the Curragh Camp in 1923.[3]
