Sir George Francis Hampson, the tenth Baronet (14 January 1860 – September 15, 1936) was a British entomologist. Hampson studied at Charterhouse School and Exeter College, Oxford.
He went to India to become a tea-planter in the Nilgiri Hills of the Madras administration (now Tamil Nadu), where he became fascinated with moths and butterflies.
As he returned to England, he became a volunteer at the Natural History Museum, where he wrote The Lepidoptera of the Nilgiri District (1891) and The Lepidoptera of Ceylon (1893) as part 8 and 9 of Illustrations of Typical Specimens of Lepidoptera Heterocera of the British Museum.
He then started working on The Fauna of British India, which included Ceylon and Burma: Moths (volumes 1892-1896).
Albert C.L.G.Günther gave him a job as an assistant at the museum in March 1895, but after he returned to his baronetcy in 1896, he was promoted to acting assistant keeper.
He then worked on a Lepidoptera Phalaenae catalogue in the British Museum (15 volumes, 1898-1920). On June 1, 1893, he married Minnie Frances Clark-Kennedy and had three children.
