George Crowle was a Member of Parliament for the Kingston upon Hull parliamentary constituency in Yorkshire, England. He was an unsuccessful candidate in 1722, but was elected M.P. in 1724 and served until 1747. He was appointed a Commissioner for Victualling the Navy in 1732, and a Commissioner of the Navy sometime between 1738 and 1740 (sources differ).

He was a grandson of Alderman George Crowle, who was sheriff of Kingston upon Hull in 1657, and mayor in 1661 and 1679, and eldest son and heir of William Crowle, of Springhead, a merchant who served as chamberlain of the borough of Hull 1688 and 1689.

On 27 January 1728 O.S/1729 N.S., he was married to Mary Middleton, of the Beddern, York, in York Minster. They lived at Fryston Hall, near Castleford.

His brother Richard Crowle was an unsuccessful candidate to succeed him, but did serve as MP for Hull in 1754–1757. Their sister Elisabeth married Daniel Wilson, another MP.
