George Ernest Dragan (February 22, 1898[1] – January 29, 1965[2]) was a physician and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Kelvington from 1934 to 1938 in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as a Liberal.

He was born in Pleasant Home, Manitoba, the son of Stefan Dragan and Anna Luikas, both Ukrainian immigrants,[1] and was educated in Manitoba, at the agricultural college in Winnipeg, at the University of Manitoba and McGill University.[2] In 1925, he married Rose Lazarek.[1] Dragan established his medical practice in Saskatoon in 1926. He helped promote Ukrainian culture in Saskatchewan and, through his photographs, documented the development of Ukrainian communities in the province.[2] Dragan was defeated when he ran in the Canora provincial riding in 1938.[3]
