George Tayloe Winston (October 12, 1852 – August 26, 1932) was an American educator and university administrator.

During his tenure as president of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, now North Carolina State University, the college developed a new textiles curriculum and began offering summer courses.^[1]

Winston Hall on the campus of North Carolina State University and Winston Residence Hall at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are named in his honor. Built in 1910 and renovated in 1988, Winston Hall at NC State currently houses the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.^[2] Winston Residence Hall was built in 1947 and is still used as undergraduate student housing.^[3]
