George Venables-Vernon, 1st Baron Vernon (9 February 1709 – 2 August 1780), was a British politician.

He was the eldest, and only surviving, son of Henry Vernon, of Sudbury, Derbyshire, MP for Staffordshire and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and his wife Anne Pigott, daughter and heiress of Thomas Pigott of Chetwynd by his wife Mary Venables (sister and heiress of Sir Peter Venables of Kinderton, Cheshire).

[2] His father died in 1719, leaving him Sudbury Hall, and in 1728 he assumed, by royal licence, the additional surname of Venables after he had succeeded to the Cheshire estates on the death of his cousin, Anne Venables-Bertie, Countess of Abingdon (wife of Montagu Venables-Bertie, 2nd Earl of Abingdon), in accordance with the will of his uncle and her father, Sir Peter Venables.

[2] In 1762 he was raised to the peerage as Lord Vernon, Baron of Kinderton, in the County of Chester.

[3] He lived at Sudbury Hall, one the country's finest Restoration mansions, which now is a Grade I listed building.
