George Wesley Bellows (født 12. august 1882 i Columbus, Ohio, død 8. januar 1925 i New York City) var en amerikansk maler, tegner og litograf, der blandt andet malede boksescener, portrætter, scener fra 1. verdenskrig, fra New York og maritime scener, især fra Maine. Han regnes til 2. generation af Ashcanskolen^[5] og var en af repræsentanterne for amerikansk realisme i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet.^[6]

Ferieophold i Maine gav ham inspiration til maritime prospekter, og tyskernes behandling af befolkningen i Belgien under 1. verdenskrig ansporede ham til en række billeder om krigen.
