George Foster Shepley (January 1, 1819ndash July 20, 1878) was a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was appointed military Governor of Louisiana by General Benjamin Butler in June 1862.

Shepley served as the acting military mayor of New Orleans from May 20, 1862ndash July 11, 1862. This appointment lasted less than two months before Shepley was appointed military governor of the occupied parishes of Louisiana from 1862–1864. Shepley later served as military governor of Richmond, Virginia.

He died in Portland, Maine, on July 20, 1878, and is interred at Evergreen Cemetery in that city. His tombstone has his birth date as January 1, 1819.
