George Gerbier d'Ouvilly (fl. 1661) was a Dutch soldier, dramatist and translator. He was the son Sir Balthazar Gerbier, and, like him, had William Craven, 1st Earl of Craven as a patron.

He joined Lord Craven's regiment in the Low Countries, and rose to be a captain. At the English Restoration of 1660 he was residing in London.
