George Burnham (December 28, 1868 – June 28, 1939) was a banker and Republican politician from San Diego, California.

Burnham moved to San Diego in 1903 and continued to work in real estate with his brother John, until 1917 when he took up banking.

Burnham married Neva May Ashley on October 1, 1890, and they had six children, Harold, Percy, Helen, Laurence, Virginia, and Ben.

Burnham was elected to the 73rd Congress in 1932, and reelected in 1934, serving as Representative for Imperial and San Diego counties.

In 1936, he drew up bills to add 365,000 acres (1460 km2) of federal land in the Carrizo and Vallecito areas to the newly created Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
