George Conrad Hannan (10 September 1910 – 1 May 2009) was an Australian politician.
Born in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, he was educated at Catholic schools and then the University of Melbourne. He became a barrister in 1934, and served in the military from 1942 to 1946. In 1956, he was appointed to the Australian Senate as a Liberal Senator for Victoria, filling a casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator John Spicer. He was defeated in 1964, but was re-elected in 1970.
In 1974, he resigned from the Liberal Party, forming a new party, the National Liberal Party, under which banner he contested the 1974 election. He received 1.2 per cent of the vote, and was not elected.[1]
