"George Edward Shea" was a Canadian politician who served as the List of mayors of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador/first mayor of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador/St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The son of Gertrude Corbett and Edward Dalton Shea/Edward D. Shea, he was born in St. John's and was educated there and at Ampleforth College in England. He was married twice: first to Louisa Catherine Pinsent in 1888 and then to Margaret Rendell in 1900.

In 1870, Shea became a clerk in the family business, Shea and Company. The company was shipping agent for the Allan Line of Royal Mail Ship/Royal Mail Steamships and the Ross Steamship Line. In 1887, when his uncle Ambrose Shea was appointed governor of the Bahamas, George replaced him as the firm's managing partner. He was later an agent for the North British and Mercantile Insurance/North British Mercantile Insurance Company and a member of the Newfoundland Board of Revenue.
