George Rich Metcalf (February 5, 1914 – May 30, 2002) was an American publisher, newspaper editor, book author and politician from New York.
In December 1941, he closed his publishing house, and instead joined the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant.
In 1950, Metcalf defeated the incumbent State Senator Henry W. Griffith in the Republican primary, and went on to win the election in November.
In 1968, he ran in the 35th District for Congress, but was defeated by Democrat Samuel S. Stratton.
Afterwards Metcalf taught history at Auburn Community College, was chairman of the Board of his family's Columbian Rope Company, and was a director of the Auburn National Bank.
