George Francis Atkinson (Raisinville, 26 de enero de 1854-Tacoma, 14 de noviembre de 1918) fue un botánico, algólogo, micólogo, entomólogo, ornitólogo, aracnólogo, fotógrafo, y escritor estadounidense.

Era originario de Raisinville, Michigan. Hijo de Joseph Atkinson y Josephine Fish. Estudió en Olivet College desde 1878 a 1883 y en 1885 obtuvo su B.Sc por la Cornell University. Fue conocido por sus contribuciones a los campos de la micología y la botánica.

De 1885 a 1886, fue profesor asistente de entomología y zoólogía, y asociado entre 1886 a 1888 en la Universidad de Carolina del norte. De 1888 a 1889, fue profesor de botánica y zoología en la Universidad de Carolina del Sur, y botánico en la Estación Experimental de la Universidad. De 1889 a 1892 enseñó biología en el Colegio de Agricultura y Mecánica de Alabama; desde 1892 a 1893 profesor asistente de criptogámicas en la Cornell University, y luego asociado (1893–1896), y desde 1896, Jefe del Departamento de Botánica.

Su herbario de especímenes de hongos se guarda en la Cornell Plant Pathology Herbarium (CUP).
