George O'Hanlon (November 23 1912 - February 11 1989) was an American actor, comedian, and voice actor. He was a native of Brooklyn, New York.

He is best known on-camera as the star of Warner Bros.' live-action Joe McDoakes short subjects. Off-camera, O'Hanlon is famous as the voice of George Jetson in Hanna-Barbera's 1962 prime-time animated television series The Jetsons and its 1980s revival. O'Hanlon died of a stroke in 1989, after completing his voice tracks for Jetsons: The Movie. The film was released by Universal Pictures in 1990, and dedicated to the memory of both O'Hanlon and co-star Mel Blanc.
