George James Hogsett (c. 1820 – June 15, 1869) was a lawyer and political figure in Newfoundland.
He represented Placentia and St. Mary's from 1852 to 1861 and Harbour Main from 1865 to 1869 in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly as a Liberal.
Hogsett studied law with William Bickford Row and was called to the Newfoundland bar in 1846.
Hogsett became leader of the Liberals in 1865 after John Kent and Ambrose Shea joined the Conservative coalition government.
He was opposed to union with Canada, although in 1868, he admitted that he would examine any proposal that might improve the economic health of the colony.
