}}George Arthur Boggs (August 9, 1891 – November 9, 1968) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Kings County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1953 to 1956. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.[1]

Born in 1891 at Chicago, Illinois, Boggs was educated at Dartmouth College, and Magdalen College, Oxford.[2] He married Evelyn Starr, who died in 1923 and then Helen Pipon Starr in February 1925.[2] A fruit grower by career, Boggs moved to Nova Scotia in 1925.[2] He served as president of the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association, and warden of St. John's Anglican Church, Wolfville.[2] Boggs entered provincial politics in 1953, when he was elected in the dual-member riding of Kings County with Progressive Conservative Edward Haliburton.[3] In the 1956 election, Boggs was defeated when he ran for re-election in the newly established Kings North riding, losing to Liberal Eric Balcom by 45 votes.[4] Boggs died at Halifax, Nova Scotia on November 9, 1968.[2]
