Colonel Charles Frederick Hamilton (1879–1933) was a Canadian intelligence officer and newspaper journalist.[1][2]

Hamilton was born in Roslin, Ontario in 1879, and later graduated from Queen's University[3]

As a journalist, Hamilton first worked for The Toronto World, and from 1899-1902, at the Toronto Globe, where he covered the Boer War and "scooped" coverage of the Battle of Paardeberg. He later worked at the Toronto News.[1][3][4][5]

He co-authored a biography of George Monro Grant, Principal Grant, in 1904.[6]

During World War I, Hamilton served as a deputy chief censor, where he focused largely on cablegrams and radio traffic.[1][7][8]

Following the war, in 1919, he returned to the Royal North-West Mounted Police, where he was made intelligence liaison, and became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's first intelligence officer.[1][9] There he penned influential reports on naval policy and voiced concern about a military threat from Japan in the 1920s.[3][10] He served in that capacity at the RCMP until his death in 1933.[11][12]
