George MacLean Park (27 September 1914 – 8 May 1994) was a British Labour Party politician.

Park worked in the motor industry in Coventry, where he was the Union Convenor at the Ryton Plant of the (then) Rootes Group. He was a councillor in the Holbrooks Ward and later leader of Coventry City Council and the West Midlands County Council.

Park served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Coventry North East from February 1974 to 1987. He was a TGWU-sponsored MP and was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Eric Varley.

He decided not to stand for re-election in the run-up to the 1987 general election, after the left wing won control of his Constituency Labour Party. His successor was John Hughes.
