George Henry Rowlinson (1852 – 23 May 1937) was a British trade unionist. Born in James Bridge in Staffordshire, Rowlinson began working at a coal mine at the age of seven, and was illiterate until his twenties. He then learned to read and write, also becoming active in the Primitive Methodists as a lay preacher, and joining the West Bromwich Miners' Association. He served as the president of the West Bromwich Miners on two occasions before its strike of 1884.
