Frank Thomas Shaver (10 February 1881 – 11 December 1969) was a Conservative member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Osnabruck Centre, Ontario and became a merchant. Shaver attended the Morrisburg Collegiate Institute. He was one of the principals of the Jarvis and Shaver General Store.[1]

He was first elected to Parliament at the Stormont riding in the 1930 general election. After serving one term in the House of Commons, Shaver was defeated by Lionel Chevrier of the Liberal party in the 1935 federal election.
