George Dawson (10 May 1961 – 7 May 2007) was a Northern Irish politician and a member of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) since 1979. He was an MLA for East Antrim from November 2003 until his death following a short battle with cancer. He was seen as a potential member of the power-sharing executive of the first minister, the DUP leader Ian Paisley, whose evangelical Protestant and strong unionist beliefs he shared.
Dawson was a founder in 1998, and was until his death the chairman, of the Caleb Foundation, a Christian fundamentalist pressure group. He was also Grand Master of the Independent Orange Order and Treasurer of the Evangelical Protestant Society.
