George Thomas Beilby (17 November 1850 – 1 August 1924) was a British chemist.
In 1892 Beilby patented a production method for hydrogen cyanide. This new method used ammonia and coal as starting materials and was able to meet the rising demands on sodium cyanide for the gold leaching by the MacArthur-Forrest process.
His son became director of the Cassel Cyanide Company and his daughter was married to Frederick Soddy.
