Frank Harris Hitchcock (October 5, 1867 – August 5, 1935), was chairman of Republican National Committee from 1908 to 1909.

[1] According to historian David Leighton, "He graduated from Harvard in 1891 and the George Washington University Law School in 1894.

During his time at Harvard he met Theodore Roosevelt at the Audubon Society, both sharing a passion for the study of birds.

[3] Hitchcock managed the campaign to nominate Taft for the presidency at the 1908 Republican Convention.

[4] Hitchcock's subsequent role as Postmaster General made him the main dispenser of patronage jobs for the Taft administration, giving him control over many delegates at the 1912 Republican Convention and prompting anxieties on the part of Taft and others over rumors that Hitchcock might support Roosevelt that year.
