Walter Francis Frear (October 29, 1863January 22, 1948) was the third Territorial Governor of Hawaiʻi from 1907 to 1913. Born in 1863 in Grass Valley, California, he was appointed to the office after George R. Carter. Previous to his administration, Frear was chief justice of the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court. He was a member of the Hawaiʻi Republican Party. He died in 1948 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Frear Hall, a dormitory building built in the 1950s on the UH-Manoa campus, was named after Governor Frear's wife Mary Dillingham Frear, a former member of the University's Board of Regents. The aging structure was demolished in 2006, however, to make way for a new dorm facility.

The Frear Center, located at 1132 Bishop Street, was named after Walter and Mary Frear. It is a classroom building of Hawaii Pacific University, and was designed for information systems and computer science courses.
