George Sprott: (1894–1975) is a graphic novel by Canadian cartoonist Seth, published in 2009.

The story tells of George Sprott, a vain and selfish 81-year-old retired television personality who reflects on his life,[1] and whose life is recalled by those around him after his death.[2] The comics are sprinkled with photos of models Seth made of buildings in the fictional Southern Ontario town of Dominion.

The story first ran as a serial in The New York Times Magazine in one-page episodes[1] in 2006. A collection in large dimensions appeared in 2009 from Drawn and Quarterly.[2]
