Гео́рг III — король Великобритании и курфюрст Ганновера с 25 октября 1760, из Ганноверской династии.
Долгое правление Георга III ознаменовалось революционными событиями в мире: отделением от британской короны американских колоний и образованием США, Великой французской революцией и Наполеоновскими войнами. В историю Георг вошёл также как жертва тяжёлого психического заболевания, по причине которого над ним с 1811 года было установлено регентство.

“Nothing important happened today.”
It is widely believed that George III wrote this in his diary on July 4, 1776, the day the American Revolution began. In fact, this was made up by the scriptwriters of the series The X Files, as George III did not write a diary.
