Georg Andreas Kraft (c. 1660 – 1 December 1726) was a German Baroque composer and musician.
[1] Kraft was born in Nuremberg, and with the encouragement of the Elector Palatine, Johann Wilhelm, trained in Italy under the composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli.
On his return, he served as the concert master of the court orchestra in Düsseldorf and composed the ballet music for several operas by his friend Johann Hugo von Wilderer, another composer at Johann Wilhelm's court.

Kraft died in Kaster, a district in the city of Bedburg on 1 December 1726.
