George Lowe Sutton (23 October 1872 – 11 January 1964) was an Australian agricultural scientist and breeder of wheat.
Sutton was born in Lancashire, England. In 1882 his widowed mother took him to New South Wales where he studied at Sydney Boys High School. After dairy-farming and working in Queensland, he was appointed experimentalist at Hawkesbury Agricultural College, later becoming a lecturer. There he became a friend of William Farrer.
Sutton opened an experimental farm at Cowra, New South Wales doing wheat-breeding work for the Department of Agriculture. After Farrer died in 1906, Sutton was head of wheat-breeding in New South Wales.
In 1911, Sutton was appointed agricultural commissioner for the Western Australian wheat belt. Drought affected wheat yields in the years after Sutton's appointment, he cross-bred varieties to produce the wheat leaf rust-resistant, Nabawa.From 1 July 1921 until 31 October 1937, Sutton was Director of Agriculture in Western Australia — the first to hold this role.Sutton produced a new standard for wheat, 'W.A. Standard White' which went further than the previous 'Fair Average Quality' standard which had been in use in Australia.
