Dr. George Webster, G.P., J.P. (died 19 November 1876) was a physician active in England, and the founder of the first British Medical Association, sometimes known as "Webster's Medical Association".[1]

The association was founded in 1836, and the first meeting of the association was held on 19 January 1837 at Exeter Hall.[2][1]

A fountain at the centre of Dulwich was erected in his memory in 1876, where he had lived for 60 years.[3]
