George Edward Wade (1853, London – 5 February 1933) was a British sculptor. He was largely self-taught as an artist and is best remembered for his statues of royalty and politicians.
He was baptised on 17 April 1853 at Westminster, London, England. He was the fourteen children of the Rev. Canon Nugent Wade and Louisa (born Fenwick). His elder sister was Louisa Anne Wade who led the Royal School of Needlework. Another brother was architect and textile designer Fairfax Blomfield Wade-Palmer.
In 1929 Wade had two works dedicated in London, to Catherine and William Booth. Booth was the first General of the Salvation Army and she was the "Army Mother." Mrs. Booth presents a "serene and matronly figure", while he is "an Old Testament figure with eyes ablaze, beard flowing, finger pointing, medals mustered, and a small prayer book in his hand."
