George Harris Chamberlin (January 12, 1827  July 16, 1921) was an American farmer, Republican politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He served one term as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Dunn County during the 1881 term. He and his family were some of the earliest American settlers in the Chippewa Valley, and are considered the founders of Rock Falls, Dunn County, Wisconsin. He served fifty years as postmaster at Rock Falls, from 1857 to 1907.
