George Richard Rignold, née Rignall, (1839 – 16 December 1912) was an English-born actor, active in Britain and Australia.

George Rignold began his acting career quite young, playing the part of the messenger in Macbeth.

He then toured the United States (where women would fight over the good-looking actor) and Canada from 1875, where he made a great impression — a reference in The Atlantic Monthly in 1938 shows that memory of him persisted.

He spent a season playing Henry V at Drury Lane, where Staffordshire replicas were made of Rignold as the king on horseback.

[2] He then had a considerable career in Australia as a theatrical impresario and manager, often in conjunction with James Allison and F. H. Pollock.
