Frank Dean Lucas (born January 6, 1960) is an American politician and farmer serving as the U.S. representative for Oklahoma's 3rd congressional district since 2003. A member of the Republican Party, he previously represented the 6th district from 1994 to 2003, prior to redistricting.
His district, which is massively rural, stretches from the Panhandle to the fringes of the Tulsa suburbs, covering almost half of the state's land mass. Lucas became the dean of Oklahoma's congressional delegation in 2023 following the retirement of Senator Jim Inhofe.
Prior to his election to the United States House of Representatives, he represented the 59th district of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1988 until his election to Congress in 1994.
