George Deas (1816 – 23 May, 1870), was an officer in the United States and Confederate Armies. A Pennsylvanian, he enlisted into the 5th United States Infantry on August 1, 1833 at the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. He received the honorary rank of Brevet Major, United States Army, for his actions at Contreras and Churubusco during the war with Mexico.

In October 1862, he became the acting Assistant Secretary of War for the Confederacy. Confederate Lt. General James Longstreet was his brother-in-law.   [jet] [ph:L]
