George Vautin (23 April 1869 - 9 January 1949) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the VFL.

Vautin was from Tasmania and played in a Hobart side called City. A rover, he represented his state in 1887 in an away series in Victoria, impressing the Essendon recruiters who signed him up for the 1890 VFA season. In 1895 he was named as the Champion of the Colony. The VFL began in 1897 and Vautin was a member of the inaugural premiership side.

He was also a handy cricketer, playing a first class game for Tasmania in 1889/90 and another for Victoria in 1894/95.
