George William Albert Chapman, né George William Alphred (13 December 1850 – 23 February 1917), was a Canadian poet.
Chapman was born at Saint-François-de-Beauce, Quebec (today's Beauceville), and was educated at Levis College in 1862-1867.[1] He studied law, afterward engaged in commercial pursuits, and later entered the civil service of the Province of Quebec. Chapman worked for some time as a journalist in Quebec City and Montreal; but in 1902 became a French translator for the Dominion Senate and removed to Ottawa, Ontario.
After his death in 1917, he was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.[2]
