George Heneage Walker Heneage (17 July 1799 – 21 September 1875)[1] was a British Conservative politician.

Heneage was appointed Conservative MP for Devizes in May 1838 after the sitting MP, James Whitley Deans Dundas, was unseated due to bribery at the 1837 general election.[2] He held the seat until 1857 when he did not see re-election at that year's general election.[3]
