George Blagden Bacon (May 22, 1836 in New Haven, Connecticut[1] – September 15, 1876[2]) was a United States clergyman and author of texts on religious issues.

[14] In the same year, George Bacon delivered the commencement address at the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women.

[15] Bacon, whom The Nation called a "lively" writer,[16] was a regular contributor to Scribner’s Monthly, writing on religious[17] as well as social topics (such as Chinese immigration to the United States[18]).

He also wrote on the Sabbath question, an important subject in late-nineteenth century America when a debate was waged between those who saw the day of rest as a legal obligation and those, including Bacon, who considered it a Christian privilege.

In a eulogy, Scribner’s Monthly called him a "model literary clergyman": "His contributions to the body of the magazine were always marked by broad views, intense dislike of sham and cant, by high moral purpose, and by a style as simple and direct as it was elegant and attractive.
