Sir George Grobham Howe, 1st Baronet (c. 1627 – 26 September 1676) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1660 to 1676.

Howe was the son of George Howe (d. 1647)[1] of Berwick St Leonard, Wiltshire and his wife Dorothy Clarke, daughter of Humphrey Clerke of Woodchurch, Kent. He was admitted to Lincoln's Inn on 19 April 1646.[2]

In April 1660 Howe was elected Member of Parliament for Hindon and held the seat until his death in 1676.[3] He was created baronet on 20 June 1660.[2]

Howe died in 1676 and was buried at Berwick St Leonard.[2]

He married Elizabeth Grimston, daughter of Sir Harbottle Grimston, 2nd Baronet and his wife Mary Croke. Their son James succeeded to the baronetcy and was also MP for Hindon.[2]
