Rowland David George, DSO, OBE was a British rower who won gold at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
Born in Bath, Somerset, he was educated at Wycliffe College and Lincoln College, Oxford, where he first took up rowing in 1922. He did not succeed in winning a blue and on leaving Oxford began his business career in Bristol which left him with no time to devote to rowing. In 1929 his employers transferred him to their London office, and by 1930, he had joined the Thames Rowing Club, winning several races, including the Wyfold Challenge Cup in 1931 and the Stewards Challenge Cup in 1932. His Thames coxless four then won gold at the 1932 Olympics.

During World War II, George served in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve's Equipment Branch. Commissioned in 1939, he rose to acting squadron leader by 1942, playing a crucial role in the Operation Torch landings in Algeria. For his efforts, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1943. Later, as an acting wing commander, he planned the Allied invasion of Sicily and managed supplies during the Salerno landings, despite being wounded. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the US Legion of Merit in 1944.

Until his death, George was the oldest surviving British Olympic gold medallist.
