George Fryer Sternberg (1883–1969) was a paleontologist best known for his discovery in Gove County, Kansas of the "fish-within-a-fish" fossil specimen of Xiphactinus audax. He was the son of Charles Hazelius Sternberg and nephew of Brig. Gen. George M. Sternberg (1838–1915). The Sternberg Museum of Natural History at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas is named for him and other members of his fossil collecting family.
