Jarich or George van Liauckema (17 December 1558 – 24 August 1642) was a Frisian nobleman and soldier in Spanish service in the Eighty Years' War. Between 1588 and 1591 Van Liauckema was governor of Zutphen. Some time after the Siege of Groningen he returned to Friesland, where in 1618 he again came into possession of the ancestral castle of the Van Liauckema family, the Liauckamastate in Sexbierum.
