George Rollo Hayman (4 May 1925 – 3 April 2008) was a Rhodesian farmer and politician.
A member of the House of Assembly, he served in several portfolios as a member of the Cabinet of Rhodesia under Prime Minister Ian Smith.
Born in the United Kingdom, he moved to Southern Rhodesia at age four and served as a Royal Air Force pilot in World War II. Elected to Parliament in 1958 as a member of the United Federal Party, he was a founding member of the Rhodesian Front party in 1962.
He joined the Cabinet in 1976 upon being appointed Minister of Agriculture.
In 1977, he was named Minister of Local Government and Housing and Minister of Internal Affairs.
In December 1978, he resigned from the Cabinet, from Parliament, and from the party, protesting the Prime Minister's rejection of British-American plans for Rhodesia's transition to majority rule.
He ran as an independent in the by-election for his former seat in Parliament, but lost.
He soon moved to South Africa, where he lived until his death.
