George Gordon Byron Sproat (1858 - 23 or 24 January 1927) was a farmer and poet from Galloway. He contributed poetry to local publications including The Kirkcudbrightshire Advertiser and The Gallovidian under the pen name Venetia. He published a collection of poetry titled The Rose o' Dalma Linn and Other Lays of Galloway in 1888 which was illustrated by the artist John Faed. Three poems from the collection were anthologised in Harper's The Bards of Galloway, which also included his most famous work, the song Bonnie Gallowa. This song, according to Innes MacLeod, "has become something of a Galloway anthem." He is included in D. H. Edwards' (1883) Modern Scottish Poets.
