Francis Xavier Hurley (February 11, 1903 – April 1976) was an American politician who served as the 17th Massachusetts Auditor and the 46th Treasurer and Receiver-General of Massachusetts. He was a 1924 graduate of Harvard College. Hurley was elected state auditor at the age of 27, making him the youngest person ever elected to statewide office in Massachusetts.[2] He is known for a 1933 report alleging misconduct by the superintendent of Norfolk Prison Colony, now called Massachusetts Correctional Institution – Norfolk.[3]
