George Lowe Sutton

George Lowe Sutton (23 October 1872 – 11 January 1964) was an Australian agricultural scientist and breeder of wheat. In 2005 he was elected to the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia Hall of Fame.

Sutton was born in Lancashire, England. In 1882 his widowed mother took him to New South Wales, where he studied at Sydney Boys High School. After dairy-farming and working in Queensland, he was appointed experimentalist at Hawkesbury Agricultural College, later becoming a lecturer. There he became a friend of William Farrer. Sutton produced a new standard for wheat, 'W.A. Standard White', which went further than the previous 'Fair Average Quality' standard which had been in use in Australia.

In 1937, Sutton was awarded the Farrer Memorial Medal. He died in Mount Lawley on 11 January 1964, and was buried in Karrakatta Cemetery.
