The Right Reverend George Herbert Kinsolving (April 28, 1849 – October 23, 1928) was the second bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, serving from 1893 to 1928. He was succeeded by the Right Reverend Clinton Simon Quin.

He came from a family of clergymen. His father Rev. Otis Americus Kinsolving (1822-1894), minister at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Middleburg, Virginia became an avid Confederate, especially supporting Mosby's Rangers although G.H. Kinsolving's brother joined the Richmond Howitzers light artillery. The family of his father's second wife likewise supported the Confederacy (her father Asa Rogers became a local militia general), and after her death from complications of childbirth, Rev. Otis Kinsolving was imprisoned for treason by occupying Union forces. The child that whose birth led to that death, Lucian Lee Kinsolving (1862-1929), later became the first missionary bishop of Brazil, and G.H. Kinsolving preached the sermon at the consecration ceremony attended by twelve bishops. His other half-brother by his father's second wife, Rev. Arthur Barksdale Kinsolving (1861-1961), also became known as an author and historian in Maryland. His half-brother by his father's third wife, Rev. Wythe Leigh Kinsolving, served Episcopal churches in the South and New York City.
