Sir George Airey Kirkpatrick KCMG PC QC (September 13, 1841 – December 13, 1899) was a Canadian politician from Ontario, Canada.

Kirkpatrick joined the Canadian Militia as a private in 1861 during the Trent Affair and later as an officer and the adjutant in the 14th Battalion of Rifles saw active service during the Fenian Raids in 1866.

He was called to the bar in 1865 and served as a Conservative member of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons from 1870 to 1892 taking over the Frontenac seat held by his late father.

As a result of his arguments, the Colonial Office issued new instructions that future Governors General not act without the advice of his ministers in such matters.

He returned to the backbenches where he remained until 1892 when he was appointed the seventh Lieutenant Governor of Ontario by Sir John Abbott.
