George Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Cromartie (c. 1703–28 December 1766) succeeded his father John, the 2nd earl, in February 1731. In 1745 he joined Charles Edward, the young pretender, and he served with the Jacobites until April 1746 when he was taken prisoner in Sutherlandshire. He was tried and sentenced to death, but he obtained a conditional pardon although his peerage was forfeited. He died on the 28th of September 1766.

He married Isabel Gordon on 23 September 1724 and had two children:

  • Caroline Mackenzie (1736–1791)
  • Isabella Mackenzie (d. 1801)
