George Wylde (or Wilde; 1594 – 15 January 1650) was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1628 and 1650.

Wylde was the younger son of George Wylde and his wife Frances Huddleston, daughter of Sir Edmund Huddleston of Sawston, Cambridgeshire. He was baptised at St Peter de Witton, Droitwich, matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford on 18 March 1608 aged 14 and was awarded BA on 24 January 1611. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple on 16 April 1618.

In 1628, Wylde was elected Member of Parliament for Droitwich with his brother John and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.
