George Elberton Burnap (December 28, 1885 – June 17, 1938) was an American landscape architect. Born in Massachusetts, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cornell University before being appointed lead architect in the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds (OPBG) in Washington, D.C. During his years with the OPBG, he designed the first White House Rose Garden, Montrose Park, Rawlins Park, landscaping and roadways in East Potomac Park, and initiated the planting of Japanese cherry trees along the Tidal Basin. His most well-known design was of Meridian Hill Park, a large urban park built on elevated land. Due to disagreements over his salary and outside work, Burnap was dismissed in 1916. His former student, Horace Peaslee, oversaw the completion of Meridian Hill Park.
