George Ellis Pierce (13 Oct 1909 – 29 Jun 1981), was a decorated submarine commander during World War II who reached the rank of rear admiral in the United States Navy.

His older brother John Reeves Pierce graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1928, and George followed him in 1932.

Pierce began his career in the Navy with submarines, but later transferred to dirigibles.

During World War II, John "Jack" Pierce was killed in action when the submarine he commanded, the USS Argonaut (SM-1), was sunk by the Japanese.

Upon hearing of his brother's death, Pierce immediately volunteered for submarine duty.
