Sir George Dalston, 4th Baronet (c. 13 July 1718 – 7 March 1765) was a British baronet. He inherited the title from his father at a young age, and subsequently joined the Royal Navy, in which he served until 1742, reaching the rank of lieutenant. In 1754 he was elected to the parliamentary seat of Westmorland at the behest of his relations the Lowther family. Unaligned throughout his time in politics, Dalston retired in 1761 amidst increasing financial difficulties. He sold his seat of Dalston Hall soon afterwards, and died in relative poverty in 1765. Having only a daughter from his marriage, the baronetcy died with him.
