Loy Frank Weaver (born June 29, 1942) is a retired banker from Homer, the seat of Claiborne Parish in north Louisiana, who served as a Democrat in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1976-1984. In 1978, he waged a losing race for Louisiana's 4th congressional district seat in the United States House of Representatives, the ultimate winner that year having been Weaver’s legislative colleague, wealthy businessman Claude "Buddy" Leach, Jr., of Leesville, the seat of Vernon Parish.
A Homer native, Weaver graduated in 1960 from Homer High School. In 1964, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. From 1964 to 1973, he was an agent of both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration, and was cited for outstanding performance and personal bravery on five occasions by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. At the Drug Enforcement Administration, Weaver was in regular consultation with five state governors.
From 1974 to 1981, he was the principal owner and president of the Shreveport-based security company, Southern Research, Inc., which with a multi-million payroll employed some four hundred persons.
Weaver won election to the legislature when the incumbent, Louise B. Johnson of Bernice in Union Parish, ran unsuccessfully for the Louisiana State Senate. He served on the House Appropriations Committee, Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the House committees on retirement, transportation and development, and administration of criminal justice.
