George Washington Kittredge (January 31, 1805 – March 6, 1881) served as a U.S. Representative representing New Hampshire.

Originating from Epping, New Hampshire, Kittredge pursued a broad education and studied at Harvard Medical School. He commenced his medical career in Newmarket, New Hampshire, beginning in 1835.

Throughout his political career, Kittredge was elected several times to the New Hampshire House of Representatives (1835, 1847–1848, 1852), holding the position of Speaker in 1852. His business roles included serving as a director for the Boston and Maine Railroad from 1836 until 1856 and presiding over the Newmarket Savings Bank for four decades.

As an Anti-Nebraska Democrat, he was elected to the 33rd Congress (1853–1855), where he led the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of War. Attempts to secure reelection in both 1854 and 1856 were unsuccessful.

Following his congressional service, Kittredge returned to practicing medicine. In January 1878, he experienced a severe stroke. He passed away in Newmarket on March 6, 1881, and his remains were laid to rest at Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston.
