George Crosbie (7 May 1864 – 27 November 1934) was an Irish politician. He was a Cumann na nGaedheal member of Seanad Éireann in 1931 and from 1932 to 1934, and the only person twice elected at by-elections to the Seanad.[1]
He was educated at St Stanislaus College. In 1886, he was admitted to King's Inns in Dublin, was called to the Irish bar in 1889, but never practised.[2]
In the 1880s, he joined the Cork Examiner as a journalist. In 1889 he became the editor of the newspaper, and in 1899, after the death of his father Thomas, he became chairman of Thomas Crosbie & Co. Ltd, which owned the Cork Examiner.[2]
In 1909 he unsuccessfully contested a by-election in the Cork City constituency as an Irish Parliamentary Party candidate, receiving 43% of the vote.[2] He was an unsuccessful candidate at the 1925 Seanad election.[2] He was elected at a by-election on 5 November 1931 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Patrick Hooper.[1] He lost his seat at the 1931 Seanad election but was elected at a by-election on 2 January 1932 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Alfie Byrne.[1] He died in office on 27 November 1934.[2]
