George Garfield Hall (born March 5, 1925), is an applied mathematician and scientist of distinction, known for original work and contributions to the field of Quantum chemistry.

Hall was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He independently from Clemens C. J. Roothaan discovered the Roothaan-Hall equations. He was awarded a Ph.D. degree for this work in 1950 supervised by Sir John Lennard-Jones at Cambridge University. He then lectured at Cambridge University as Assistant in Research in Theoretical chemistry. He was elected to a Fellowship at St Johns College, Cambridge in 1953. From 1955 to 1962 he lectured in Mathematics at the Imperial College, London. In 1957-58 he spent a year with Per-Olov Löwdin in Uppsala, Sweden.

He moved in 1983 to Kyoto University, Japan, returning to Nottingham in 1988. He has collaborated with (inter alia) A.T. Amos, K. Collard, and D. Rees.

He is now Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Fellow in the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at Nottingham University. He has a Sc. D. degree from Cambridge University and an Honorary D. Eng. degree from Kyoto University.

He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.

He received an honorary DSc from the National University of Ireland at Maynooth.
