Frank Thomas Hines (1879–1960) was a United States military officer and head of the U.S. Veterans Bureau (later Veteran's Administration) from 1923 to 1945. Hines took over as head of the Veterans Bureau after a series of scandals discredited the agency. He was considered a "man of stern honesty." In response to the scandals the field service was "centralized to establish strict controls and accountability." He retired from the army in 1920 and became president of the Baltic Steamship Company. He opposed the payment of the Veterans Bonus to World War I veterans.
