Georges Berger (born 14 September 1918 in Molenbeek Saint-Jean, near Brussels; died 23 August 1967 at the Nürburgring) was a Formula One driver who raced a Gordini in his two World Championship Grands Prix.
He initially competed during the 1950s in a Formula 2 BMW-engined Jicey with which he finished third in the Grand Prix des Frontieres at Chimay. In 1953 he raced for the Simca-Gordini team and finished fifth at the same track. He entered the same car in the Belgian Grand Prix but retired after only three laps. The following year he raced a Gordini with nothing more than a fourth position at Rouen. He eventually disappeared from single-seater racing.
Later in his career he shared the winning Ferrari at the 1960 Tour de France automobile. He was killed racing a Porsche 911 in the 1967 Marathon de la Route at Nürburgring.
