George Folbury (also Folberry or Folbery) (died 1540) was an English churchman and academic, master of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge from 1537.
His reputation as a poet, orator, and epigrammatist is supported only by contemporary report, and none of his works is known to have survived.
[1] He was preacher to the university in 1519, and was presented to a canonry and to the prebend of North Newbald in York Cathedral in March 1531.
There is a long-standing theory that he was tutor to Henry FitzRoy, and Beverley Murphy in a recent biography of this illegitimate son of Henry VIII proposes that Folbury succeeded Richard Croke as tutor and remained until the boy was 12 in 1531, his subsequent preferment coming after this appointment which would have started in the late 1520s.
[2] Folbury was elected master of Pembroke Hall in 1537, and died between 10 July and 10 November 1540.
