Georg Eugen Heinrich Arbogast Reichsfreiherr von und zu Franckenstein (2 July 1825 – 22 January 1890), was a Bavarian-German politician and a leading member of the Catholic Centre Party.

He was born as the eldest son of Karl Arbogast von und zu Franckenstein, royal chamberlain and hereditary imperial councillor of the Crown of Bavaria, and his wife Leopoldine, née Countess Apponyi de Nagy-Appony.

His entry into the Chamber was also accompanied by his appointment as Royal Chamberlain and his admission to the Order of St George, to whose Grand Chancellor he rose in 1879.

However, in the serious September crisis of 1887, Windthorst and Franckenstein jointly and decisively rejected the attempted influence of the Curia on Centre policy.

When there was renewed speculation about a "Franckenstein Ministry" in the context of the 1881 state elections, Bismarck took a firm stand against it, and Ludwig II followed the pressure and once again expressed his confidence in the liberal Lutz Government.

The couple had six children, three daughters and three sons, including the Centre politicians Johann Karl and Moritz von Franckenstein.
