George Dewey Clyde (July 21, 1898 – April 2, 1972) was an American politician and the tenth governor of Utah, serving two terms from 1957 until 1965 as a Republican.

Although Clyde was on the faculty of Utah State University for twenty two years, serving as Dean of the agricultural college's College of Engineering and Technology, he is best known for an eight-year battle with Utah school teachers that eventually resulted in the first statewide teachers strike in United States history during May 1964.

His administration's spending increases for education fell short of perceived needs and a two-day classroom walk-out was staged.

Clyde finally approved a large state building bill that included education but did not require bonding.

Other events during Clyde's terms included breaking ground for the new interstate highway and the construction of the University of Utah's Medical School.
