Frank Christopher Guinta (/ˈɡɪntə/; born September 26, 1970) is an American politician who represented New Hampshire's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2015-17. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire from 2006-10.

Guinta was the U.S. Representative for New Hampshire's 1st congressional district from 2011–13, serving one non-consecutive term prior to his current occupancy of the same seat. He is identified by National Journal as a moderate.

Guinta worked in the insurance industry before being elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, where he served from 2000–04; he also served as a Manchester alderman from 2001 to 2005. He resigned from the State House in 2004 to work as senior policy adviser to Republican Congressman Jeb Bradley. In 2005, he ran for Mayor of Manchester and defeated three-term Democratic incumbent Robert A. Baines. He was re-elected in 2007 but did not run for a third term in 2009. Instead, he ran for Congress in 2010, defeating Democratic incumbent Carol Shea-Porter. In a rematch in 2012, Shea-Porter defeated Guinta to reclaim the seat. Guinta defeated Shea-Porter for a second time in 2014.
