General Sir George Don GCB GCH (30 April 1756 – 17 January 1832) was a senior British Army military officer and colonial governor during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. His service was conducted across Europe, but his most important work was in military and defensive organisation against the threat of French invasion during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Don was also frequently requested for advisory and espionage work by British generals and was once employed by the Prussian State as a spy. In 1799 he was arrested during a truce by Guillaume Brune who accused him of attempting to foment rebellion in the Batavian Republic and was not released until the Peace of Amiens. During and following the wars, Don also served as Lieutenant Governor of Jersey and Gov

Bien qu'il ait occupé de nombreuses fonctions dans plusieurs régions d'Europe, il s'est surtout fait connaitre dans le domaine militaire en contribuant à l'organisation de la défense contre la menace française pendant les guerres de la Révolution française puis les guerres napoléoniennes. Il fut également fréquemment sollicité pour son expertise en matière d'espionnage par les généraux britanniques, et fut également à une époque employé par la Prusse comme espion. En 1799, il fut arrêté au cours d'une trêve par le général français Guillaume Brune (fr)
