George Rous (c.1744 – 11 June 1802) was a British lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1776 to 1780.
[1] Rous was probably educated at Eton College between 1756 and 1760 and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 16 December 1760, aged 16.
[3] Rous was elected Member of Parliament for Shaftesbury on the interest of Francis Sykes at a by-election on 17 May 1776.
The seat had been vacant for a year following the voiding of the previous election on grounds of "most notorious bribery and corruption".
He succeeded his brother Thomas Bates Rous in 1799 and sold his estate at Moor Park.
