Major General Sir George Frederick Wootten KBE, CB, DSO & Bar, ED (1 May 1893 - 30 March 1970), was an Australian soldier, public servant, right wing political activist and solicitor. He rose to the rank of temporary Major General during World War II. Wootten was famous, in part, for his heavy build. He put on weight after giving up smoking in 1930, and by 1941 — even though he was 175 cm (5 ft 9 in) tall — he weighed 127 kg (20 st).
