Bevan Fransman (born 31 October 1983) is a South African soccer player, currently playing as a centre back for TS Galaxy.
He was in the South Africa squad for the 2008 African Nations Cup.
Fransman was born in Cape Town, [2] and grew up in the Fairways neighbourhood. [3] His father Paul was also a footballer, having played for St Athens and Battswood. [3]
Fransman played junior football for Battswood, Cape Town Spurs and FC Fortune. [3] He made one South African Premier Division appearance for Mother City. [3] After playing for FC Fortune in the 2001–02 season, Fransman signed for Belgian First Division club Mouscron alongside fellow FC Fortune players Giovanne Rector and Asanda Sishuba in summer 2002, and made his debut away to Standard Liège on 8 August 2002.

In June 2018, Fransman rejected a new Maritzburg United contract and signed for newly promoted Highlands Park.

[11]
He signed a new short-term deal with Highlands Park in July 2020 until the end of the 2019–20 season, which was prolonged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [12]
