George Hoadley (May 16, 1867 – December 14, 1955) was a long serving popular provincial politician and rancher from Alberta, Canada. Hoadley served a legendary career in the Alberta legislature during the early years when he led the Alberta Conservative Party in opposition. His effect in shaping policy in the province is widely remembered to this day as he served a broad range of portfolios in the United Farmers government that held power from 1921 to 1935. He held the Okotoks seat, then its successor seat (Okotoks-High River), for 26 years until the defeat of the UFA government in 1935.
