F. Trammell Crow (born June 11, 1914, in Dallas, Texas) is an American property developer.

Crow grew up in Dallas. After completing high school, he worked for a Dallas bank and attended night school in accounting at Southern Methodist University. He then worked for three years as a CPA before joining the Navy in 1940. After World War II, he worked as a wholesale grain merchandiser, but saw more opportunities in warehouse real estate development, and entered the field. Within a few years, Trammell Crow Company was the largest real estate developer in Dallas, and was beginning to expand into Atlanta, Denver, and other major cities.
