George "Tubby" Dixon (January 4, 1896 – August 4, 1940) was a Negro Leagues catcher for several years before the founding of the first Negro National League, and in its first few seasons.

When he started catching for the Chicago American Giants during spring training in Palm Beach, Florida, newspaper reports called him "the best young player that has been tried out with the Giants in years."

Dixon appears to have played his last few seasons in Cleveland. He died in Cleveland in 1940.
