Jorge Alejandro Newbery (Buenos Aires 29 May 1875 – Mendoza Province 1 March 1914), known as Jorge Newbery or, more familiarly, simply as "George", was an Argentine pilot of North American descent.
His father, Ralph Newbery (a dentist born in 1848), emigrated from Long Island, New York, to Argentina after the American Civil War. Along with Alberto Braniff and Jorge Chavez, Jorge Newbery was one of the first Latin American aircraft pilots.
He was also an engineer.
