George Johnson Clarke (October 10, 1857 – February 26, 1917) was a New Brunswick journalist and politician. He was editor of the St Croix Courier. He entered politics and became Speaker of the provincial legislature in 1909. He became Conservative premier in 1914 when his predecessor, James Kidd Flemming was forced to resign. He was in terminally poor health during his entire time in office and his administration accomplished little.
