George William Wheeler (1815 – January 1878) was a British socialist activist, prominent in the First International. Born in Walworth, near London, George was the brother of Thomas Martin Wheeler. Their father was a wheelwright, who later became a victualler. Wheeler became a supporter of Robert Owen and active in the Chartist movement. With his brother, he helped run the Friend-in-Need Life Assurance Society, becoming secretary after his brother's death, in 1862. The Friend-in-Need collapsed in 1867, and Wheeler later moved to Glasgow, where he died early in 1878.
