George Stuart Robertson (May 25, 1872 – January 29, 1967) was a British athlete and tennis player. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.
Robertson competed in the discus throw. He placed fourth with a distance of 25.20 metres.
In the singles tennis tournament, Robertson was defeated in the first round by Konstantinos Paspatis of Greece. This put him in a six-way tie for eighth (last) in the field of thirteen competitors. For the doubles, Robertson partnered with Australian Teddy Flack. The pair received a bye in the first round, advancing them to the semifinals and guaranteeing a top three finish before they even played a game. They lost their semifinal match to Dionysios Kasdaglis of Egypt and Demetrios Petrokokkinos of Greece, finishing third.
