James Thomas George (1918 – 1975) was an English international rugby union player.

Raised in Falmouth, Cornwall, George was a tireless lock who was a latecomer to rugby, switching from football in his late 20s to play for the Falmouth RFC. He toured with the Barbarians in 1947.[1] Capped three times for England, Vaughan featured in their 1947 and 1949 Five Nations campaigns, with injuries depriving him of further opportunities.[2]

George worked as a fitter at Falmouth docks and was also a chicken farmer.[3]
