George Ward (Irish: Seoirse Mac an Bháird; c. 1715–1769) was an Irish luthier and maker of violins and cellos from Dublin. His instruments are considered original in style with some resemblances to the Stradivari model. One of his violins is preserved as part of a collection at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.
