Alhaji G.V. Kromah is a Liberian politician and former rebel leader. He is a Muslim and member of the Mandingo ethnic group.

Kromah was a special assistant to the Vice-President during the regime of President William Tolbert before becoming managing director of the Liberian Broadcasting System and Minister of Information under President Samuel Doe. He went into exile in June 1990, months after the civil war began in Liberia. He later returned and joined the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO) rebel group.

ULIMO split into two factions in 1994, with Kromah leading one faction known as ULIMO-K. Its power base was in northwestern Liberia, in and around Lofa County.

After the war ended, Kromah contested the 19 July 1997 election representing the All Liberia Coalition Party (ALCOP). He placed third, winning 4.02% of the vote.

Kromah ran again as the party's presidential candidate in the 11 October 2005 elections in which he was again defeated, receiving 2.8% of the vote.
