Sir George Andrew Joy KBE CMG (20 February 1896 – 25 April 1974) was a British colonial administrator.

Born in London, Joy attended St Francis Xavier's College in Bruges.

[1] In 1924 he joined the Colonial and Foreign Office, and was appointed Assistant Resident Commissioner for the New Hebrides, where his fluency in French (learnt at school) was an asset in the joint rule with France.

Joy remained in post in the New Hebrides until 1940,[2] when he was appointed Resident Adviser to two sultans in Aden Protectorate, Saleh bin Ghalib Al-Qu'aiti of Qu'aiti and Dscha'far ibn al-Mansur al-Kathir of Kathiri.

In the 1949 Birthday Honours he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
