William Frank Kobina Coleman (1922–) was a Nigerian-born Ghanaian engineer who became the first Ghanaian to serve as Director General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation from 1960 to 1970. Born in Kano, Nigeria, he received his early education at Holy Trinity School and later attended E.C.M. Senior School in Saltpond and Adisadel College in Cape Coast. He returned to Nigeria to complete his secondary education at Igbobi C.M.S./Methodist Secondary School, graduating in 1940.

Coleman's career began with employment at Nigerian Railways in 1941 before moving to the Gold Coast (now Ghana) where he taught at St. Edward's Seminary and later joined the Treasury as a Second Decision Clerk. He pursued an intermediate bachelor's degree in engineering at Achimota College, passing his external exams and briefly working with the Gold Coast Broadcasting Service. In 1948, he earned a scholarship to study in the UK, obtaining a diploma in Electronics from the University of Southampton and a bachelor's degree in Engineering from the University of London. He also trained with the BBC and Marconi.

Upon returning to Ghana, Coleman rejoined the Gold Coast Broadcasting Service, advancing through roles as an engineer, Deputy Chief Engineer (1955), Chief Engineer, and eventually Deputy Director. In 1960, he was appointed Director General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, a position he held until 1970, succeeding J.B. Millar and later replaced by Stephen Bekoe Mfodwo. Coleman remains the longest-serving Director General in the corporation's history and served as Vice President of the Ghana Institution of Engineers.
