Herbert Edward McGee {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|OBE}} (11 August 1917 – May 1995) was a chairman of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.

In April 1984, as Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, he advised Sheffield Wednesday fans not to travel to Ninian Park for a game against Cardiff City F.C. because he felt Cardiff were attempting to cash in by charging higher ticket prices against promotion candidates Wednesday.{{cite news|title=Cardiff accused over terrace price increases |newspaper=The Times|date=14 April 1984}} Cardiff were charging £2.50 to Cardiff fans and those who bought tickets in advance but £3 to Wednesday fans.

He was the chairman of the club at the time of the Hillsborough disaster.{{cite web|title=The open gate that led to death|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/the-open-gate-that-led-to-death-1087183.html|publisher=Independent|accessdate=17 March 2012|date=14 April 1999}}

He resigned from his position as Chairman soon after and was replaced by Dave Richards.

He was appointed an OBE in 1991 for services to Sheffield.{{cite web|title=ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE OFFICERS (OBE)|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/no-headline-present-1.806701|publisher=Scotland Herald|accessdate=17 March 2012|date=31 December 1991}}
