George Clement Perkins (August 23, 1839 – February 26, 1923), was a U.S. Republican politician, who was the fourteenth governor of California from January 8, 1880, to January 10, 1883, and a United States senator from 1893 until 1915.

Born in Kennebunkport, Maine, Perkins was married to Ruth Parker.

He was the third longest serving senator in California history, after Hiram Johnson and Alan Cranston, serving 22 years. He was criticized by some for supporting business too much during his time in the Senate. During Perkins' term as governor, former Civil War general John Mansfield served as his lieutenant governor.

Perkins is buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.
