William Bliss Pine (December 30, 1877 – August 25, 1942) was an American businessman who served as United States Senator from Oklahoma. Born in Illinois, he moved to Kansas and finally Oklahoma, where he became a prominent businessman and oil producer. As a senator, he was economically conservative, but considered progressive in his agricultural positions.[1] With the onset of the Great Depression, he and many other Republican politicians were turned out of office.[2]
