George Samuel Zimmern JP (17 February 1904 – 19 November 1979), also named in Chinese community as Canon George She (施玉麒), was a well-known social activist in Hong Kong. Born of Eurasian parentage, he attended the Diocesan Boys' School, HK, followed by Oxford University in England.

As a close friend and supporter of Bishop R. O. Hall, Canon She was one of the founders of the Street Sleepers' Shelter Society, the Boys' and Girls' Clubs Association, the Housing Society and a number of workers' children schools. He baptised Sir Robert Ho Tung on his death bed, as well
