Georg Gottfried Julius Dehio (22 November 1850 – 21 March 1932), was a Baltic German art historian.

In 1900, Dehio started the "Handbuch der deutschen Kunstgeschichte" (Handbook of German Art History), published by Ernst Wasmuth. The project is ongoing and managed by the 'Dehio-Vereinigung', Munich.^[1] He gave his name to the Georg Dehio Prize (Georg Dehio Book Prize).^{[citation needed]}

Dehio was born in Reval (Tallinn), then part of the Russian Empire. He died in Tübingen, Germany.

He was laureate of the Pour le Mérite order^[2] ("Pour le Mérite für Wissenschaften und Künste"), the Eagle Shield of the German Empire (Adlerschild des Deutschen Reiches) and the Bavarian Maximilian Order for Science and Art.
