Franklin Brooke Voss (1880–1953) was an American painter who lived in New York City and Maryland. He attended the Art Students League of New York where George Bridgman was his teacher.

He was commissioned paintings by society families such as the Whitneys, Riddles, Vanderbilts, Phippses, Wideners, and Willis Sharpe Kilmer. He painted Man o' War, Equipoise, Seabiscuit, War Admiral, Sir Barton, and Jolly Roger. Some of his work can be found at the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame in Lake Worth, Florida.

The Sporting Gallery and Bookshop specialized in sporting books, paintings, prints, and carvings by prominent sporting artists such as A.J. Dando, Paul Brown, and Franklin B. Voss. The shop, located at 38 East 52nd Street in NYC, was founded in 1935 by Melville E. Stone II (1905-1989) several years after graduating from Yale University. Mr. Stone came from a publishing family in Chicago, where his grandfather, Melville E. Stone, founded the Chicago Daily News and co-founded the Associated Press. He closed the business in 1964.
