George Maurice Hann (1 October 1885 – 27 March 1980) was a British trade unionist.
Born in Bristol, Hann worked as a shop assistant, and joined the National Amalgamated Union of Shop Assistants, Warehousemen and Clerks (NAUSAWC) in 1903. He was very quickly elected to the union's executive, and also became active in the Independent Labour Party. Through these activities, he met Florence Exten, and the two married in 1913.
Also in 1913, Hann began working as a full-time union organiser. He moved to London, and was active in opposing World War I. In 1934, he chaired a major labour pageant, organised by the Central Women's Organisation Committee of the London Trades Council.
Hann retired in 1956, and was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He and Florence moved to Stanmore, and he lived until 1980.
