George Washington Carroll (April 11, 1855 – December 14, 1935) was an American politician and businessman.

On November 20, 1877, he married Underhill Mixson which was the first church wedding conducted in Beaumont and later had three children with her.

In 1892, he invested $1,000 into Pattillo Higgins's Gladys City Oil Company and was elected as its president due to him being the only investor to give capital instead of land.

Carroll became rich after the company discovered oil at Spindletop.

[2] On December 14, 1935, Carroll died from pneumonia in a YMCA building that he had helped to create in the 1920s.
