George Logan is a former collegiate head soccer coach. From 1968 to 1981, he served as the first head men's soccer coach at San Diego State University, where he compiled a 148-48-17(.735) record. His winning percentage ranks 16th all time among NCAA Division 1 coaches. In 14 seasons, he never had a losing season.

He was also a very successful high school soccer coach. He coached at Valhalla High School near San Diego, where he compiled a 298-74-37 record in 16 seasons. The team reached the San Diego Section championship game eight times, winning it five times. Between 1987 and 1990, Valhalla went on a 53 match unbeaten streak. Valhalla won ten league titles and made the playoffs 15 times.

He died April 19, 2009 at age 76. He is considered by many the "Father of San Diego soccer."
