Frank E. Woods (1860 – May 1, 1939) was an American screenwriter of the silent era. He wrote for 90 films between 1908 till 1925. He first became a writer with the Biograph Company. Woods was also a pioneering film reviewer. As a writer, his contributions to film criticism are discussed in the 2009 documentary, For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism. Woods worked for the Kinemacolor Company of America, directing at their Hollywood studios and writing the script for the unreleased The Clansman (1911). He was also known for his screenplay collaborations with D. W. Griffith, including the co-scripting of The Birth of a Nation. He later publicly expressed regret for his involvement with the film.
