Georg Kropp (1 December 1865 – 21 January 1943) was a German journalist and polymath. In 1921, with Mathilde Planck, he co-founded the Gemeinschaft der Freunde (GdF) (literally: "Society of friends") which a few years later became recognised as Germany's first mutual building society, the Wüstenrot Bausparkasse.
