George Crews McGhee (March 10, 1912 - July 4, 2005) was a career diplomat in the United States foreign service.
He served as U.S. Ambassador to Turkey in 1952-1953 and U.S. Ambassador to West Germany in 1963-1968.
From November 1961 to April 1963, he served as the third ever Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, during the Kennedy Administration (later to be replaced by W. Averell Harriman). President Kennedy had left this office vacant since January 1961 until McGhee, a Texan, was persuaded to take the position.
McGhee was a student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and holds an honorary degree from that institution.[1]
In 1989, McGhee donated his villa in Alanya, Turkey to Georgetown University. Today it is known as the McGhee Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies, and welcomes students each spring.
