Three Studies for George Dyer is a small-format triptych painted by the Irish-born British artist Francis Bacon in 1964.

Bacon used heavy structural brushstrokes in a limited palette of red/orange, black, and white, with a touch of blue.

The painting was included in the Bacon retrospective held at the Grand Palais in Paris: Dyer committed suicide the evening before it opened in 1971.

The triptych was held in a private collection from 1970 until it was sold at Sotheby's in London in June 2014 for £26.7m, including buyer's premium.
