George Esmond Jameson, DSO, DFC (20 November 1921 – 20 May 1998) was a New Zealand flying ace of the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) during the Second World War, who is credited with the destruction of eleven enemy aircraft and two damaged. He was the highest scoring New Zealand night fighter pilot of the war.

Born in Christchurch, Jameson joined the RNZAF in 1941. After completing flight training he went to the United Kingdom to serve with the Royal Air Force. Flying a Bristol Beaufighter night fighter with No. 125 Squadron, he destroyed three German bombers over England and Wales. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for these exploits. He later served with No. 488 Squadron, shooting down several enemy aircraft over France, including four in one sortie in July 1944, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. He was repatriated to New Zealand in September 1944 to run the family farm after the death of his father. He died in a farming accident at the age of 76.
