Sir George Barclay (c. 1636–1710) was a Scottish army officer who headed a Jacobite assassination plot against King William II of Scotland in 1696.
The plotters intended to ambush the king at Turnham Green in London on returning from a hunting party.
The plot was betrayed to the government, and nine members were executed, though Barclay escaped to France.
