George Francis FitzGerald (1851–1901) was an Irish physicist best known for his contributions to the field of theoretical physics, particularly in the areas of electromagnetism and the theory of relativity. He is often remembered for FitzGerald's contraction hypothesis, which he proposed independently around the same time as the Lorentz transformation was developed by Hendrik Lorentz.
