George Thurman Oubre, Sr. (born April 27, 1930), was a lawyer from his native Norco, Louisiana, who represented St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist parishes in the Louisiana State Senate for a single term from 1968 to 1972, during the second administration of Governor John McKeithen.'
In 1970, Senator Oubre was named "Conservationist of the Year" in the elected official category by the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.
In 1971, Oubre did not seek reelection to the state Senate but instead lost a Democratic runoff election in December for state attorney general to his senatorial colleague, William J. Guste of New Orleans. In this same election, Edwin Edwards defeated J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Guste then defeated Republican Tom Stagg of Shreveport in the general election held on February 1, 1972, for the right to succeed Jack P. F. Gremillion of Baton Rouge, who failed in his primary bid for a fifth term in the office. Another unsuccessful primary candidate was the Lafayette Democratic attorney J. Minos Simon.
