George Whitelaw Mackey (St. Louis (Missouri), 1 de fevereiro de 1916 — Belmont (Massachusetts), 15 de março de 2006) foi um matemático estadunidense.

Mackey obteve o Bachelor of Arts na Universidade Rice em 1938 e o Ph.D. na Universidade Harvard em 1942, orientado por Marshall Harvey Stone. Em 1943 trabalhou no Departamento de Matemática da Universidade Harvard, sendo indicado Professor da Cátedra Landon T. Clay de Matemática e Ciência Teórica em 1969, onde permaneceu até aposentar-se em 1985.
