George Evelyn Hutchinson (January 30, 1903 – May 17, 1991) was an Anglo-American zoologist known for his studies of freshwater lakes and considered the father of American limnology.

Born at Cambridge in England, Hutchinson was educated at Gresham's School, Holt and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. After two years of lecturing at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, he joined the faculty at Yale University in 1928. He became a US citizen in 1941.

His illustrious career at Yale lasted for forty-three years. In 1949, Hutchinson was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 1950 to the National Academy of Science.

After his retirement, he spent much of his time in England, and he died in London on May 17, 1991.

He was awarded the National Medal of Science posthumously in 1991.
