General Sir George Beckwith GCB (1753 – 20 March 1823) was a British Army officer.

He distinguished himself as a regimental officer in the American Revolutionary War, where he was assistant to Major Oliver Delancey responsible for British Intelligence.

In July 1782, he replaced Delancey and after the war he worked for Sir Guy Carleton in Canada.

Beckwith was to follow aboard a Royal Navy frigate and so escaped the fate of his baggage.

[2] On 1 May 1809, he was made a Knight of the Order of the Bath (later apparently elevated to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath) for his Capture of Martinique in 1809 and also led a successful expedition against Guadeloupe, the last French possession in the area, in 1810.
