George Dadamo (born November 3, 1953 in Windsor, Ontario) is a politician in Ontario, Canada. He served as a New Democratic Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1990 to 1995.
Dadamo worked in radio before entering politics, and was a member of CKLW/CKWW in Windsor, CKCK in Regina, Saskatchewan and CHNL in Kamloops, British Columbia between 1973 and 1989. He is also a former member of the Canadian Auto Workers union. He first ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election, finishing a close second to incumbent Liberal Bill Wrye in the riding of Windsor—Sandwich .
The NDP won an unexpected majority government in the 1990 provincial election, and Dadamo defeated Wrye by 4,145 votes in a rematch from 1987. He served as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Transportation for most of the parliament which followed.
Dadamo did not seek re-election in the 1995 provincial election, and has not sought a return to provincial politics since that time.
