George Lane Parker (1724–1791) was a British Army officer and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1769 and 1780.

Parker was born on 6 September 1724, the second son of George Parker, 2nd Earl of Macclesfield and his first wife Mary Lane, daughter of Ralph Lane of Woodbury.^[1] He matriculated at Hertford College, Oxford on 20 January 1741 and graduated BA in 1743 and MA in 1750.^[2]

Parker joined the army in the 1st Foot Guards and was lieutenant and captain in 1749 and captain and lieutenant-colonel in 1755. He became Colonel in 1762 and Major-general in 1770. From 1773 to 1782 he was Colonel of the 20th Foot. He became a Lieutenant-General in 1777 and was Colonel of the 12th Dragoons from 1782.^[1]

Parker stood at Guildford in 1761 but was defeated. In the 1768 general election he stood for Yarmouth (Isle of Wight) on the Holmes-Stanley interest and was returned as Member of Parliament on petition on 19 January 1769. He was returned at Tregony as a Government candidate in the 1774 general election. He had a poor attendance record, probably because of his military duties. He voted with the Government and is not recorded as speaking in the House.^[1]

Parker married Jane Lady Dormer, widow of Sir Charles Cottrell-Dormer (son of Clement Cottrell-Dormer) and daughter of Charles Adelmare Caesar in May 1782. He died on 6 September 1791.^[1]
