Rear-Admiral George Tobin (13 December 1768 – 10 April 1838) was an English Royal Navy officer and artist.

He entered the navy in 1780 on board HMS Namur, in which he later went out to the West Indies, being present at the Battle of the Saintes during April 1782.

He was advanced to the rank of captain in the major promotion of the Peace of Amiens, 29 April 1802; and in September 1804 was appointed to HMS Northumberland.

In September 1805 Tobin was moved into HMS Princess Charlotte, a 38-gun frigate, and in her, off Tobago, captured the French corvette Cyane.

[1] After much convoy service Tobin, still in the same frigate, renamed HMS Andromache in 1812, co-operated during 1813–14 with the army in Peninsular War operations in the north of Spain and the west of France.

[1] Tobin married, in 1804, Dorothy, daughter of Captain Gordon Skelly of the navy, widow of Major William Duff of the 26th Regiment.
