George of Naples
George (died 739) was the Duke of Naples for a decade beginning in 729.
George succeeded Theodore I and continued his prudent policy of balancing between the Byzantine Empire and the papacy, at that time embroiled in a conflict over the iconoclastic controversy. He was succeeded by Gregory I.
An ancient monument dedicated to George can be found at Terracina.
