George Lockwood (April 3, 1862–) was a one term mayor of South Norwalk, Connecticut in 1893. Lockwood was the youngest son of William R. Lockwood and Mary Elisabeth Roberts.

In 1881, Lockwood was married to Ella Squire, the oldest daughter of Charles E. Squire (b. 1835) and Amanda Crofut. In October 1893, Lockwood's wife filed and on November 11, was granted a divorce because Lockwood had "called on the unmarried daughter of one of the city officials."

He married Annie Conley, the daughter of a former policeman, Francis S. Conley on November 23, 1893.
