George Charles Butte (May 9, 1877 – January 18, 1940) was a jurist, educator, and Republican politician from the U.S. state of Texas, who was his party's gubernatorial nominee in 1924 against the controversial Democrat Miriam Wallace "Ma" Ferguson, the first woman elected as governor in the United States. U.S. President Herbert Hoover appointed Butte as associate justice of the Philippine Islands Supreme Court, a position that he held from July 1, 1932, until February 1, 1936.
Butte was born in San Francisco, California, to Charles Felix Butte and the former Lena Clara Stoes. When he was nine years old, Butte's family moved to Hunt County, east of Dallas, Texas, where he was reared on a farm near Commerce and attended public schools.
