Georges Maurice Edmond Dorléac (French pronunciation: [ʒɔʁʒ mɔʁis ɛdmɔ̃ dɔʁleak]; 26 March 1901 – 5 December 1979) was a French actor of the stage and screen. He was the father of actresses Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac and Sylvie Dorléac. He was the husband of actress Renée Simonot, who was the dubbing voice for Olivia de Havilland.

During the German occupation, he participated in 76 broadcasts on Radio-Paris and, in 1944, in two short propaganda films for the "Propaganda Abteilung in Frankreich," which led to him being charged with national indignity at the Liberation.
