was a United States Navy officer in the first half of the 20th century involved in the development of radio and communications.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Craven was given the name of the Union U.S. Navy Commander Tunis Augustus Macdonough Craven (January 11, 1813 to August 5, 1864) who famously went down with his ship, the USS Tecumseh, during the American Civil War at the Battle of Mobile Bay.

He was a Navy engineer involved in the early history of radio and a close friend of Stanford C. Hooper.

He declined reappointment at the end of his term in 1944, choosing instead to return to private industry as the vice-president of Iowa Broadcasting Company, owned by the Cowles interests.
