George Brinham

George Ivor Brinham (1916 – 17 November 1962) was a British trade unionist.

Brinham was born in Brixham in Devon. He left school at the age of fifteen and completed an apprenticeship as a joiner, becoming a member of the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers (ASW). Brinham also became active in the Labour Party, and was soon elected as secretary of its Torquay division.

In 1947, Brinham was elected to the executive of the ASW, and in 1956 he became the union's youngest ever chairman. From 1952 to 1954, he also served on the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions. He was known for being on the right wing of the trade union movement, and was considered a poor public speaker, but came to prominence through his hard work on committees.
