George Haliburton (1616 – 1665) was a 17th century Scottish minister. The son of Janet Ogilvie, and her husband, George Haliburton senior, George was born in Glenisla, Angus, where his father was a minister.
In 1636, he graduated from King's College, Aberdeen, thereafter receiving his licence for the ministry from Meigle presbytery. He served as an army chaplain in 1540 and 1541, before being appointed minister of Menmuir in November 1642. The following year he married the daughter of David Lindsay, ex-Bishop of Edinburgh.
From August 1, 1644, he was in charge of Perth. He was briefly deposed (1644-1645) for saying a blessing while dining with the Marquess of Montrose. After the reinstatement of episcopacy in 1662, James Sharp, Archbishop of St Andrews recommended him for the bishopric of Dunkeld. He was consecrated Bishop of Dunkeld, on May 7, 1662, at Holyrood Palace, retaining control of Perth. He died at Perth on April 5, 1665 and was buried in the Greyfriars' Church.
