George Denison Faber, 1st Baron Wittenham, CB, DL (14 December 1852 – 1 February 1931), known as Denison Faber, was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.
Faber was the second surviving son of Charles Wilson Faber and the nephew of Lord Grimthorpe. He was the brother of Edmund Faber, 1st Baron Faber, and of Mrs Edward Kennard (1850–1936), a novelist.
He was educated at the University of Oxford, where he graduated BA, and in 1879 was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn. From 1887 to 1896 he acted as Registrar of the Privy Council.
Faber was elected a Member of Parliament (MP) for York in a by-election on 6 February 1900, following the resignation of Lord Charles Beresford. He served until January 1910, when he lost his seat, and was again elected for Clapham from 1910 to 1918.
