George Gervase, OSB (1571 – 11 April 1608) was an English Catholic priest of the Order of St. Benedict who worked as a missionary in England during the period of recusancy.

He was left an orphan when he was twelve years of age, and soon after kidnapped by pirates, (probably a lieutenant of Drake, who was then buccaneering on the Spanish Main), and was taken to the West Indies with two of his brothers.

[3] He then made a pilgrimage to Rome, and there endeavoured to enter the Society of Jesus, but, not being admitted, he returned to Douai, where he was clothed as a novice at the English Benedictine Congregation monastery of St. Gregory’s (now at Downside Abbey).

His brother Henry had obtained for him a comfortable living near Lille, being anxious to preserve him from the persecution then raging in England.

Refusing to take the new oath of allegiance on account of its infringing on spiritual matters where Catholics were concerned, he was tried, convicted of the offense of being a priest, and was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Tyburn.
