George Henry Swan (1833 – 25 July 1913) was a 19th-century businessman and Member of Parliament in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.

Born in Sunderland, England, Swan went to Australia in 1854 and settled in New Zealand in 1857.

Swan served as the Mayor of Napier from 1885 to 1901; at that time, he held the record for holding the longest continuous mayoralty in New Zealand.

[2] Though sometimes described as "Independent", he was really a "conservative"; although those opposed to the Liberals had not yet formed the Reform Party.

He was opposed to party government, and wanted Maori and local shipping to pay taxes.
