George Ainslie (October 10, 1868 – July 18, 1931) was the mayor of Richmond, Virginia, from 1912 until 1924.

As a result of this expansion, Ainslie pursued an ambitious program of public improvements, including completion of a new waterworks and creation of a fully motorized fire department.

He also advocated amendments to the Richmond city charter that in 1919 strengthened the power of the mayor's office.

The Richmond newspapers often featured photographs of Ainslie greeting visiting dignitaries, including Marshal Ferdinand Foch (1921) and former British prime minister David Lloyd George (1923).

Ainslie lost the April 1924 primary to his ultimate successor, John Fulmer Bright, after Bright accused Ainslie of being a big spender who had placed the city in debt by borrowing money for public improvements.
