George Nevill, de facto 14th (de jure 2nd) Baron Bergavenny (16 May 1702 – 15 November 1723) was an English nobleman from the House of Neville. He was the elder surviving son of George Nevill, 13th Baron Bergavenny, and Anne Walker. He became Baron Bergavenny on 7 March 1720/1 after his father’s death and later studied at University College, Oxford.

He married Elizabeth Thornicroft on 21 February 1722/3. George died of smallpox on 15 November 1723 in Soho Square and was buried at Sheffield, Sussex. The couple had posthumous twin daughters born later in November 1723, who both died in December 1723. Because he left no surviving male heir, the barony passed to his younger brother, Edward Nevill, who became the 15th Baron Bergavenny. Elizabeth later remarried Alured Pincke of Tottenham High Cross. Thomas Hearne described him as “a most ingenious sensible young gentleman, but very much deformed.”
