Frank Herbert Foss (b. Augusta, Maine, September 20 1865 - d. Fitchburg, Massachusetts, February 15 1947) was a United States Representative from Massachusetts.

He attended public schools in Augusta, Maine and graduated from Kent Hill (Maine) Seminary in 1886. He moved to Fitchburg in 1893. He worked for a general contractor in the construction of industrial plants.

He was a member of the Fitchburg city council (1906-1912); water commissioner (1913-1915); mayor of Fitchburg (1917-1920); member of the Republican State committee (1915-1946), and served as chairman (1921-1924).

He was a delegate to every Republican State Convention held between 1915 to 1946. He was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-ninth (69th) Congress and the following four Congresses (March 4 1925 - January 3 1935). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1934 to the Seventy-fourth Congress, and resumed management in the contracting business.

He resided in Fitchburg until his death there on February 15 1947, aged 81; interment in Forest Hill Cemetery.
