Frano or Franu (Urdu: فرانو, romanized: frāno) is border village and union council which lies in Chorbat Valley, in the Ghanche District, Gilgit-Baltistan. The village lies upon the banks of the north side of Shyok River, with the village of Turtuk lying on the south side of the river. It is considered as the last village of Pakistan, with the LOC, 2.5 km away, succeeding it.

Frano is also noted in travel media as one of the easternmost Pakistani villages in Baltistan and as a vantage point from which nearby Indian-administered villages across the Shyok valley can be seen.
