George Burton Drake (1876–1942) was an American landscape painter.

Drake initially took up painting as a hobby. During this time he mastered the use of various media, including oils, watercolor, and pencil sketching. He seemed to have very gifted artistic abilities, since he was also known as a master carpenter and tinsmith.

Drake typically signed his works as 'GB Drake', often employing accentuated vertical strokes within the signature. A few of Drake's paintings and sketches still exist in private collections. His style usually depicts an individual in a serene landscape setting, typically surrounded by large trees. A 25"x35" oil painting on canvas entitled "The Upland Pasture" acquired from the Strobridge Lithograph Company (Cincinnati, OH) in 1951 is shown.
