George Robert Jebb

George Robert Jebb (1838–16 February 1927) was a civil engineer who lived in the United Kingdom. He was involved with railway and canal engineering, and became Vice-President of the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Born in 1838 in Baschurch, Shropshire, where his father John was stationmaster of Baschurch railway station, Jebb completed his engineering training as a student of Alexander Mackintosh, working on the lines of the former Shrewsbury and Chester Railway. He was subsequently appointed the Resident Engineer of the Wrexham and Minera Railway along with a number of other railway lines in Wales.

Jebb was later appointed as the Chief Engineer of the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company (for which he designed many of the docks and warehouses of Ellesmere Port) and of the Birmingham Canal Navigations and was a director of the Glyn Valley Tramway. He was involved with many other engineering projects around the world, such as planning the route of the railway between Lviv and Chernivtsi.

George Jebb died after a brief illness on 16 February 1927. He was the father of Reginald Jebb and the paternal grandfather of Reginald's son, the architect Philip Jebb.
