Jules Georges (1903–1983) was a Belgian rower and sports official.
Georges joined the soccer club RFC Liège in 1915 but it was in rowing that he had better success. He competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris with the men's coxed four where they were eliminated in the round one repechage.[1][2] His son, Robert George, won the Double Sculls Challenge Cup at the 1952 Henley Royal Regatta[3] and competed in the 1952 Summer Olympics.[4]
Georges became the largest scrap metal dealer in Europe after WWII. In 1971, he became the president of RFC Liège and held that role until his death in 1983. He is buried in the Robermont Cemetery in Liège.[citation needed]
