George England and Co. was an early English manufacturer of steam locomotives. The company operated from the Hatcham Iron Works in New Cross, Surrey, and began building locomotives in 1857. It supplied locomotives to the Festiniog Railway, the Wantage Tramway, the Caledonian Railway, the London & Blackwall Railway and the Great Western Railway amongst others.

George England's daughter Eliza Anne later eloped with Robert Francis Fairlie, the holder of the patent for Fairlie locomotives. Fairlie took over the company on George's early retirement in 1869, renaming it the Fairlie Engine and Steam Carriage Company.
