George Peabody Macready Jr (August 29, 1899 – July 2, 1973) was an American stage, film, and television actor often cast in roles as polished villains. Macready played Marshal Sam Hughes in the 1949 Randolph Scott film "The Doolins of Oklahoma" (he narrated the film as well).

Stanley Kubrick's antiwar film Paths of Glory (1957) provided Macready with his other great role, the cold-hearted and self-serving French World War I General Paul Mireau, who is brought down by Kirk Douglas's character, Colonel Dax. He had worked with Douglas previously in Detective Story (1951), and later he appeared with Douglas in two more films: Vincente Minnelli's Two Weeks in Another Town (1962) and John Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May (1964). In 1965, he was cast in a rare comedy role as General Kuhster in Blake Edwards's film The Great Race.

One of Macready's last film roles was as United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull in Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970), a depiction of the events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
