George Gibson (1775–1861) was the United States Army's first Commissary General of Subsistence, holding the office from 1818 to 1861.

[1] When the army expanded in 1808, Gibson was commissioned captain from civilian life in the 5th Infantry.

After the end of the war, the large reduction in army size led to his honorable discharge from his regiment.

A reorganization of the Department of War created a distinct military organization in charge of army victualling, and in 1818 Gibson became the first Commissary General of Subsistence with colonel's rank; an office he held until the beginning of the Civil War.

[9] He never married; celebrating his bachelorhood as president of the Hope Club, a haunt for unmarried officers in Washington.
