George Craig Ludlow (April 6, 1830 - December 18, 1900) was an American Democratic Party politician, who served as the 25th Governor of New Jersey from 1881-1884.
Born in Milford, New Jersey, Ludlow moved as a child to New Brunswick, where he lived for the rest of his life. Ludlow graduated from Rutgers University in 1850. A lawyer for the powerful Pennsylvania Railroad, he soon entered politics in New Jersey and was elected as a Democrat to the New Jersey Senate in 1876, and was chosen as Senate President in 1878. Ludlow won the Democratic Party nomination and was elected Governor of New Jersey in 1880 by a mere 651 votes of some 250,000 ballots cast, serving a single three-year term in office. In 1895, Governor George T. Werts appointed Ludlow to serve on the New Jersey Supreme Court. He died in New Brunswick and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in New Brunswick.
