Major-General Sir George Ridout Bingham KCB (21 July 1777 – 3 January 1833) was a British Army officer, who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

He was knighted in 1815 and promoted to brigadier-general serving as the commanding military officer on St. Helena from 1815 until 1819 during Napoleon Bonaparte's initial incarceration on the island.

He entered the army in June 1793 as ensign in the 69th Foot, serving with it in Corsica and with one of the detachments embarked as marines under Admiral Hotham, in the Gulf of Genoa.

[1] In 1805 he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the newly raised 2nd battalion 53rd Foot in Ireland, and, proceeding with it to Portugal four years later, fought at its head throughout its distinguished Peninsular career, beginning with the expulsion of the French from Oporto in 1809, and ending with the close of the Burgos retreat in 1812.

Sir George was afterwards on the Irish staff, and commanded the Cork district from 1827 to 1832, a most distracted period, when the discord fomented by the Catholic emancipation debates was aggravated by agrarian crime, famine, and latterly by pestilence.
