Frank Fletcher Hamilton (3 April 1921 – 1 February 2008) was a Progressive Conservative member of the House of Commons through 4 separate successful elections (1972–1984). He represented the federal riding of Swift Current—Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau led a minority. The 29th Canadian Parliament was in session from 4 January 1973 until 9 May 1974. The 30th Canadian Parliament was in session from 30 September 1974 until 26 March 1979. The 31st Canadian Parliament was a briefly lived parliament in session from 9 October until 14 December 1979 under the leadership of a Progressive Conservative minority and Prime Minister Joe Clark. The 32nd Canadian Parliament was in session from 14 April 1980 until 9 July 1984 and was controlled by a Liberal Party majority, led first by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and the 22nd Canadian Ministry, and then by Prime Minister John Turner.

He began his venture into politics in 1945 by representing the Progressive Conservative in the Canadian federal election, 1945 and the Canadian federal election, 1953. He was defeated both times. Both Wood Mountain and Assiniboia (respectively) are historical federal electoral districts of Canada.

Hamilton attended school in Ford County, Saskatchewan, then secondary school at Mazenod, then the University of Saskatchewan. He served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1940 to 1951.
