George Roe (1796 – 20 July 1863) was an Irish businessman and Whig politician.

George Roe was born in Booterstown, County Dublin, to Peter and Margaret Roe in 1796. The Roe family played a key role in the history of the Liberties in Dublin. In 1819, he married Mary Franklin.

Roe was a member of Dublin Corporation, and he succeeded Daniel O'Connell as Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1842.

In 2018, Diageo converted the former Guinness power house on Thomas Street into a new distillery, where they produce a whiskey called Roe & Co in honour of George Roe. Diageo also restored the Roe tomb in Mount Jerome Cemetery.
