George S. Irving (born November 1, 1922) is a American actor, known primarily for his character roles on Broadway.

Born George Irving Shelasky in Springfield, Massachusetts, he made his debut in the original 1943 production of "Oklahoma!", only to find himself drafted days later to serve in World War II. Following his return, Irving would discover his singing voice and gift for broad comedy which would be a part of his performance for the next six decades. He has provided some of the brightest moments in both smash hits and otherwise forgettable flops.Fact|date=December 2007

One of his most famous off-Broadway roles was a voice-over for Rankin-Bass's "The Year Without a Santa Claus", in which he played the embittered Heat Miser opposite Dick Shawn's Snow Miser. He did another voice-over for Rankin-Bass as Gepetto in "Pinocchio's Christmas", and was the narrator of the animated cartoon series "Underdog". He also did the voice of Running Board on "Go Go Gophers". He also appeared in television commercials for White Owl cigars.

Irving was married to actress Maria Karnilova from 1948 until her death in 2001.
