Frederic Adrian Delano II (September 10, 1863 – March 28, 1953) was an American railroad president[1] who served as the first vice chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1914 to 1916.

For a time he was consulting engineer to the United States War Department in respect to the railroads of the Philippine Islands.

Delano was appointed one of the receivers for the Wabash in 1911, and in 1913, he was elected president of the Monon Railroad (succeeding Fairfax Harrison[3]).

He was also the chairman of the influential National Capital Park and Planning Commission and helped approve and oversee the building of the Pentagon.

His house on 2244 S Street NW in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington DC, designed by Waddy Butler Wood in 1924, survives as the Residence of the Irish Ambassador.
