Thomas Felix Bolack (May 18, 1918 – May 20, 1998) was an American businessman and politician who served as the 20th governor of New Mexico for 32 days in 1962–1963.

Bolack, in his first act as governor, appointed Mechem to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by the recent death of Dennis Chavez.

In addition to lobbying for reform, the group offered $1,000 to anyone providing information leading to the arrest of an election-law violator.

Bolack's body was cremated and his ashes were scattered over his Farmington ranch using 16 specially-made fireworks on Fourth of July, 1999.

Bolack, an accomplished big-game hunter and recipient of Safari Club International's Fourth Pinnacle of Achievement Award,[14] shot most of the animals in the collection himself.
