George Granville Harcourt ("né" Venables-Harcourt and Vernon-Harcourt, 6 August 1785 – 19 December 1861) was a British politician, the eldest son of clergyman, Edward Venables-Harcourt.

Harcourt was elected as MP for Lichfield in 1806 and for Oxfordshire in 1831.

Harcourt's wife died in 1838 and he then married Frances Waldegrave (the widow of the 7th Earl Waldegrave and future wife of the 1st Baron Carlingford), a daughter of the noted tenor, John Braham.
