George Longstaff (?1947 = 5 October 2003) was a British bicycle builder with a high reputation for tandem bicycles, tricycles and handbuilt touring bicycles.

He founded the Longstaff Cycle Centre in Chesterton near Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1982 and soon established a reputation as a builder of high quality bikes. He was also known as a tandem and trike rider and an ingenious creator of specialist adaptations for disabled cyclists.

He died of a heart attack while piloting his tandem trike on a Longstaff Owners' Club ride.

The Longstaff Cycle Centre is still in business.
