George H. Melford (lahir George Henry Knauff, February 19, 1877 – April 25, 1961) adalah seorang pemeran serta sutradara panggung dan film asal Amerika Serikat. Meskipun saat ini sering dianggap sebagai sutradara, nama Melford pada tahun 1920-an, mirip dengan Cecil B. DeMille, yang sering muncul dalam huruf besar dan tebal di atas judul film-film yang ia sutradarai.[1]
