George Gordon (bishop)
George Gordon was a 16th-century Scottish prelate. He was the son of Alexander Gordon, Bishop of Galloway, and the brother of John Gordon, also Bishop of Galloway. He was a cousin of the earls of Huntly, being the great-grandson of Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntly.
George Gordon was provided to the bishopric of Galloway on the resignation of his brother John on 8 July 1586. There is no evidence that he ever received consecration before his death, which occurred sometime between 1 April and 5 November 1588. After his death, hostility in Scotland to episcopacy meant that no new bishops were made until 1605.
