George Boleyn, dean of Lichfield (died around 1603) was a colourful character at the court of his kinswoman, Elizabeth I of England.
Not much is known of his early life, but one theory suggests that he was the son of George Boleyn and his wife Jane Parker and thus Elizabeth I's first cousin.

It appears that the bishop, 'being necessitous on his coming into the diocese, laboured all he could to supply himself from his clergy' (Stype's Whitgift, i.
Boleyn, a man 'prudent and stout,' strenuously resisted the aggressive action of the bishop, finally making his appeal to the lords of the privy council, who appointed the archbishop of Canterbury to institute a visitation.
