St George Henry Lowther, 4th Earl of Lonsdale (4 October 1855 – 8 February 1882) was a British nobleman, the eldest son of Henry Lowther, 3rd Earl of Lonsdale and Emily Caulfeild. From 1872 until his succession to the earldom in 1876, he was styled Viscount Lowther.

His racehorse Pilgrimage won both the One Thousand Guineas and the Two Thousand Guineas in 1878. He was a captain in the part-time Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry, and was honorary colonel of the Royal Cumberland Militia. He suffered from illness, possibly exacerbated by alcoholism, and died relatively young in 1882. He was succeeded in the earldom by his younger brother, Hugh.
