Sir George Adlington Syme KBE (13 July 1859 – 19 April 1929) was an Australian surgeon.

On account of failing health he followed his brother, David, to Australia in 1862 and joined the staff of The Age.

When war broke out he left Australia in December 1914 as lieutenant-colonel, and was chief of the surgical staff in No.

Invalided to England, he was consulting surgeon to the Australian Imperial Forces in London.

On his retirement in 1924 he was presented with his portrait painted by Sir John Longstaff and subscribed for by members of his profession.
