George Stewart (born 1883)[3] was a Scottish professional footballer, who played for Hibernian, Manchester City, Partick Thistle and the Scottish national team.

Stewart, an outside right,[1] started his professional career with Hibernian in 1902. He scored 9 goals in 19 appearances during their league championship win in 1902–03.[4] He made his Scotland debut in a 2–0 defeat by Wales at Tynecastle in the 1906 British Home Championship, and then also played in the 2–1 victory against England in the same tournament.[1]

Stewart was transferred to Manchester City at the end of that season for £650, which was a substantial transfer fee (he record fee at the time, for the transfer of Alf Common, was £1000).[5] Stewart won two further international caps and made over 100 league appearances for City, before ending his career with Partick Thistle in 1912.[1]
