Admiral George Losack (died 19 September 1829) was an officer of the British Royal Navy who saw service in the American Revolutionary War the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Losack commanded the brig in the Caribbean during the late stages of the American Revolutionary War and was promoted to post captain during the Spanish Armament of 1790. In 1796 he took command of the 50-gun fourth rate ship HMS Jupiter and joined the squadron at the Cape of Good Hope, assisting in the surrender of a Dutch squadron at the Capitulation of Saldanha Bay. He was still at the station in November 1798 when Captain Hugh Cloberry Christian died, leaving Losack as senior and thus de facto commanding officer. This status was lost on the arrival in 1799 of Admiral Sir Roger Curtis.
