George Washington Batten (February 22, 1856 Lockport, Niagara County, New York – September 14, 1922 Buffalo, Erie County, New York) was an American businessman and politician.
He was the son of Joseph Batten, Sheriff of Niagara County from 1876 to 1878.
In 1898, he ran for Secretary of State of New York, but was defeated by Republican John T. McDonough.
He was Deputy Treasurer under Julius Hauser and John J. Kennedy, and became Acting New York State Treasurer upon the suicide in office of Kennedy on February 15, 1914.
Ten days later, Progressive Homer D. Call was elected by the Progressive and Democratic members of the New York State Legislature to fill Kennedy's unexpired term with the understanding that Batten and all other Democratic officials continue on their posts at the Treasury.
