George Szell (* June 7, 1897 in Budapest, Austria-Hungary; † July 30, 1970 in Cleveland, Ohio) was an Austro-Hungarian conductor, pianist and composer. He had American citizenship.

With the exception of Eugene Ormandy, no conductor in the 20th century led one of the American big Five orchestras for longer than George Szell.
