George Woodward (c.1698 – 10 November 1735) was a British diplomattoPoland during the early 18th century.

He was appointed Resident to Poland in 1728, when August II's poor health raised the question of succession to the Polish crown.[1] Arriving in Dresden in 1729, he remained at Warsaw or Dresden until 1731. After returning to Britain he was sent to Poland once more in 1732, as Envoy Extraordinary.[2] He died at Warsaw in his 38th year, and was buried in the churchyard at Hillesden, Buckinghamshire.[3]
