George Carleton (1529 – January 1590) was a lawyer landowner and Member of Parliament with strong Puritan sympathies. It has been suggested that he was the secret author of the Marprelate tracts and both he and his third wife were prosecuted for their involvement in the Marprelate controversy. Although ordered to appear daily before the Privy Council in April 1589 he died in early 1590 before a decision in the proceedings against him had been reached.
