George Holt (born c. 1840, year of death unknown) was a United States Navy sailor and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

On that day, while the Plymouth was at the Port of Hamburg, Germany, a small boat approached the ship in a strong current.

For this action, both he and Tobin were awarded the Medal of Honor a year later, on October 10, 1872.

[1] Holt's official Medal of Honor citation reads: On board the U.S.S.

Jumping overboard at the imminent risk of his life, Holt, with a comrade, rescued from drowning one of a party who was thrown from a shore boat into a 4-knot, running tide while the boat was coming alongside the ship.
