George Connor (born 16 August 1906 in Rialto, died 28 March 2001 in Hesperia) was an American racing driver. He started 14 Indianapolis 500s, including 3 while the race was a World Championship round, from 1950 to 1952. He also entered the 1953 edition, but did not qualify.
Connor competed in the AAA championship from 1934 to 1954, starting 63 races with a total of nine podiums, including two victories in 1946. His best championship finish came with his best Indy 500 finish, with fifth place in 1949 (almost half the points came from his Indianapolis podium).
For the last four years of his life, Connor was the oldest surviving Formula 1 driver, and was 94 years old at his death. The record was taken by Karl Kling.
