Captain Sir Rupert George, 1st Baronet (16 January 1749, St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin, Ireland – 25 January 1823, Willesden, London Borough of Brent, Greater London, England) was a British naval officer in the American Revolution, became the Commodore for the Royal Navy's North America Station (1792-1794). He then returned to England and became the first Commissioner of the Transport Service, where he stayed for 22 years.[1]

He was the eldest son of Denis George and Sarah Young. In addition to their house at St. Stephen's Green, the family had a country estate at Clophook near Stradbally, County Laois. Denis George, Recorder of Dublin and later one of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland), was his younger brother.
