George Edward Negus AM (13 March 1942 – 15 October 2024) was an Australian journalist, author, television and radio presenter specialising in international affairs.

Negus was known for making complex international and political issues accessible to a broad audience through his down-to-earth, colloquial presentation style.

Recognition of his unique skills led to him hosting a new ABC show, Foreign Correspondent, and Dateline on SBS.

He often reported from the frontline of dangerous conflicts and described himself as an "anti-war correspondent" who wanted people to understand the reasons behind why wars were senseless.

[7] Negus became most prominent as a reporter for This Day Tonight, a pioneering current affairs show on the ABC which began in 1967 and continued through the late 1960s and into the 1970s.

[16][18] Negus lived on a farm near Bellingen, on the New South Wales northern coast, until he was moved into a Sydney nursing home in late 2021 after being diagnosed with dementia.

They had two children, including a son, Serge, who appeared alongside Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001).
