Hiram Stokley Broiles (December 2, 1845 – July 27, 1913) was an American politician who served as the 6th Mayor of Fort Worth, Texas from 1886 to 1890.

Broiles was born to a slave-owning family in Tennessee, and ran away to join the Confederate States Army at age 15.

[1] Broiles ran away from home at age 15 and joined the Confederate States Army, enlisting into the 45th Tennessee Infantry Regiment.

[1] On October 6, 1864, Broiles enlisted for a one-year term in the Union Army in order to leave prison.

[1] He was elected to the Fort Worth Board of Aldermen in 1882, but later resigned and was succeeded by W.R. Haymaker on August 30, 1882.

[5] During Broiles' time as mayor he attempted to suppress illegal activity in Hell's Half Acre.

[6] He filed a $35,000 libel lawsuit against the publishers of the Daily Gazette in 1887, after an editorial claimed he was giving out appointments and contracts for his own financial benefit.

Around 300 delegates, mostly members of the Farmers' Alliance, from seventy counties attended a convention on May 15, 1888, to consider possible electoral campaigns.

The delegates appointed Broiles as a one-man executive committee and he called for a Nonpartisan Convention to be held on July 2-3.
