George MacLeod (1895–1991) was a Scottish minister and social activist known for founding the Iona Community in 1938. This ecumenical community aimed to promote social justice, reconciliation, and spiritual renewal, drawing inspiration from the early Christian monastic community on the Isle of Iona.

His work has had a lasting impact on contemporary Christian thought and communities, particularly in the areas of social responsibility and interfaith cooperation.
