George Taylor (March 31, 1840 – March 26, 1919) was a Canadian politician.

Born in Lansdowne, Leeds County, Ontario, he was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons for the electoral district of Leeds South in the 1882 federal election. A Conservative, he would be re-elected 7 more times until being summoned to the Senate of Canada representing the senatorial division of Leeds, Ontario in 1911. He would sit in the senate (he served in Parliament for almost 37 years) until his death in 1919. From 1891 to 1896, he was the Chief Government Whip and from 1901 to 1907 the Chief Opposition Whip.
