George Swan Nottage (1823 – 11 April 1885) was a British politician, businessman, and photographer. In 1884 he was elected as Lord Mayor of London, and subsequently became the most recent person to die whilst holding the office.
Nottage died after a bout of bronchitis (or pleurisy) on 11 April 1885, when still in office. This entitled him to burial in St Paul's Cathedral, where, following a funeral service, his coffin was interred in the crypt.
