The George and Dragon is a historic pub in Kirkbymoorside, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.

The building was originally a Mediaeval, cruck framed, structure. It was rebuilt in the mid 18th century as a coaching inn, and by 1811 it had stables, barns, coach houses and other outbuildings. It was later extended to the rear, and divided, with the right hand section becoming a bank. The building was grade II listed, along with its railings, in 1985.{{cite book |title=Houses of the North York Moors |date=1987 |publisher=HM Stationery Office |isbn=9780113000142}}{{NHLE |num= 1173961|desc= The George and Dragon Inn and attached railings to Front the Yorkshire Bank, Kirkbymoorside|access-date= 12 March 2025}}

The pub is built of stone, whitewashed on the front, with chamfered quoins, basement and floor bands, a moulded eaves cornice, and a pantile roof. It has two storeys and a semi-basement, and three bays. In the left bay is an elliptical carriage arch with voussoirs, and quoined jambs with imposts. Steps lead to the doorway that has a divided rectangular fanlight, and a flat hood on wrought iron brackets. The windows are horizontally-sliding sashes with double keystones. In front are iron railings on a chamfered stone base, with urn finials and spiral tips.{{cite book| last1 =Grenville| first1 =Jane| last2 = Pevsner | first2 = Nikolaus | author2-link = Nikolaus Pevsner | series= The Buildings of England| title =Yorkshire: The North Riding| publisher =Yale University Press | year =2023 | orig-year=1966 |location =New Haven and London | isbn =978-0-300-25903-2 }}
