Frank C. Hill III (born February 19, 1954) is a former American politician and convicted felon. A Republican, he served in the California State Assembly and California State Senate between the years of 1982 and 1994, where he represented Whittier, California.

In 1994, Hill was convicted of taking $2,500 from an undercover FBI agent for help with legislation in what was part of the BRISPEC sting operation. The conviction resulted in a 4 year prison sentence.[1][2]

In August 2020, Hill was served a search warrant and his home in Whittier was raided in connection with a corruption probe into a failed solar project that cost the City of Industry $20 million and left taxpayers with nothing to show for.[3] Hill and three others were charged in September 2021 by Los Angeles County prosecutors as a result of the probe.[4]
