Georges Duval (2 February 1847 – 23 September 1919) was a French journalist and playwright.
Georges Duval was a columnist at Le Gaulois under the pseudonyms Claude Rieux and Tabartin. He also collaborated with the newspaper L'Événement.
In 1883, Guy de Maupassant dedicated him his short story Le Cas de madame Luneau.
