George Martin Ottinger (8 February 1833 – 28 October 1917) was an American public official, artist, educator, actor and photographer, who spent most of his career in Utah.

He came to Utah Territory as part of the Milo Andrus Pioneer Company in 1861 and formed a partnership with the photographer Charles Roscoe Savage.

There was so little demand for their work in Salt Lake City that for part of 1861 they traveled through Idaho Territory, doing jobs related to photography.

In 1863, he became principal of the Deseret Academy of Arts, which was another joint venture with Savage.Also in 1861, he married Mary Jane McAllister Cullin.

From 1876 to 1890, he was head of the Salt Lake Fire Department, overseeing its transformation from a volunteer to a paid organization in 1883.
