George Kohut (November 22, 1943 - May 8, 2014) was a Ukrainian-born American camera operator and worker's rights activist.

Born in the Ukraine, Kohut's family emigrated to America, and in 1961 he enlisted in the Army, around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. During this time, he met a fellow cameraman, Michael O'Sullivan, who invited him to join him in Chicago, the city he made his home.

In his career, Kohut participated in several Chicago-based film productions, including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Batman Begins, The Fugitive and Groundhog Day

Kohut died in Chicago on May 8, 2014, age 70. He is survived by a wife and son[1][2]
