George Boas (; 28 August 1891 – 17 March 1980) was a Professor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He received his education at Brown University, obtaining both a BA and MA in Philosophy there, after which he studied shortly at Columbia, and finally at UC Berkeley, where he earned his PhD in 1917. In 1921, Boas was hired at Johns Hopkins by Professor A.O. Lovejoy as an historian of philosophy.
