George "Pee Wee" Erwin (May 30, 1913 – June 20, 1981)[1] was an American jazz trumpeter.

He played in several territory bands before joining the groups of Joe Haymes (1931–33) and Isham Jones (1933–34).

In the 1950s, he settled in New Milford, New Jersey, and played Dixieland jazz in New Orleans, and in the 1960s formed his own trumpet school with Chris Griffin; among its graduates was Warren Vaché.
