Urbanus Edmund Baughman (1905 - 1978)[1] was the chief of the United States Secret Service between 1948 and 1961, under Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy.

Baughman was the first Secret Service Chief to pen a memoir concerning the office he held, which was entitled Secret Service Chief which was a veritable tell-all on the intricacies and inner workings of the Secret Service and it's evolution from a counterfeit detection department to the presidential protection unit.
