George Jonas Whitaker Hayward (c. 1839 – 18 July 1870) was a well-known nineteenth-century English explorer. He was one of the earliest Europeans to explore Gilgit and Central Asia. His exploration efforts and eventual murder in Yasin valley (a tributary state of Chitral at that time) during “The Great Game” period eventually earned him a degree of acknowledgement and fame.
