George Kelly (b. 1688, d. in or after 1747) was a Jacobite agent and conspirator. He was arrested twice in 1722 for his involvement in a plot to restore the Stuarts. Kelly was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he was supported by his family, Jacobite members of parliament, and Sir Hans Sloane. He escaped in 1736 and fled to France.
