George Dewey Cukor (/ˈkjuːkər/; 7 Tháng Bảy năm 1899 - 24 tháng 1 năm 1983) là một đạo diễn phim người Mỹ.^[1] Ông chủ yếu tập trung vào các phim hài và phim chuyển thể văn học. Sự nghiệp của ông phát triển mạnh mẽ tại studio RKO khi David O. Selznick, Giám đốc sản xuất của studio, giao Cukor đạo diễn một số bộ phim lớn của RKO, bao gồm What Price Hollywood? (1932), A Bill of Divorcement (1932), Our Betters (1933), và Little Women (1933). Khi Selznick chuyển đến MGM vào năm 1933, Cukor cũng đi theo và đạo diễn các phim Dinner at Eight (1933) và David Copperfield (1935) cho Selznick; Romeo and Juliet (1936) và Camille (1936) cho Irving Thalberg.
