George Irvine Whiteside (20 September 1902 – 27 July 1976) was an Australian politician.

Born in Victoria, he was educated at state schools before moving to Queensland to become a railway worker.

Labor Senator for Queensland Max Poulter died in 1962 and Labor had nominated the unsuccessful candidate, Alf Arnell, to fill the casual vacancy; however, he was rejected by the Queensland Legislative Assembly.

Whiteside was narrowly defeated by Liberal candidate Kenneth Morris.
