George Woods Mahan Jr. (April 6, 1887 – February 19, 1967) was an American architect based in Memphis, Tennessee. He designed courthouses, many residences, and schools. Many of his designs were Neoclassical architecture style, and several buildings he designed are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

He apprenticed under fellow Memphis architect and author Neander Woods and went on to work with his brother Everett Woods on several projects.[1] Mahan founded the firm of Mahan and Broadwell in 1912.[2] His work is noted along with a few other architects on a historical marker in the Central Gardens Historic District.[3] His name and one of the homes he designed are featured in a 1928 Electrol oil burner advertisement in American Architect and Architecture.[4]

Fifteen of his design plans for schools were published in Building Plans for Rural School Houses and were among those mandated for rural schools for African Americans in Tennessee.

Mahan was a member of the American Institute of Architects.
