Elmer George was an American racing driver whose career on record consisted of a single Formula 1 start in 1957 for Kurtis Kraft. He started the race but finished twenty-third, taking no points and leaving no other results in the historical record across any series.[1]

George's one appearance came in an era when Formula 1 grids were far more open than they would later become, and Kurtis Kraft was a constructor fielding drivers of widely varying experience. The team itself won races and drew stronger drivers, most notably Jim Rathmann, but George's single outing yielded no competitive finish. He then retired from racing and did not return to competition.
