George Adam Clare, PC (June 6, 1854 – January 9, 1915) was a businessman, manufacturer and politician based in Preston, Ontario, Canada (now part of Cambridge, Ontario).

He was born in Preston to John Clare and Margaret Beck.

Ltd, Preston Car and Coach Co. and Canadian Office and School Furniture Co. Ltd.[1] Clare was elected to the Preston town council in 1883 and became reeve of Preston in 1886 serving for two years.

He served as a Member of Parliament until his death in 1915 and was named to the Queen's Privy Council of Canada in 1913, a rare honour for someone not in Cabinet.
