George Frederick Richardson (July 1, 1850 – March 1, 1923) was a politician from the U.S. states of Michigan and Washington.

In 1892, as the candidate for the Democratic Party, Richardson won a close election for U.S. Representative from Michigan's 5th congressional district.

The defeated candidate, incumbent Republican Charles E. Belknap, requested a recount in Ionia County, alleging irregularities.

The Michigan Supreme Court ordered a recount on February 3, 1893, which subsequently resulted in a plurality of 19 votes for Belknap.

George F. Richardson retired to private life in 1919 and made his home in Bellevue, Washington, where he died.
