George Ford (born 16 March 1993) is a rugby union player who plays at fly-half for Leicester Tigers and England.

Born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, he is the son of former Bath Rugby head coach and former Rugby League legend Mike Ford.

Ford played rugby league from age 5 at Saddleworth Rangers and Waterhead and as a young teenager played in the academies at both Wigan Warriors and Bradford Bulls. He started playing rugby union aged 11 at Rishworth School and playing for Leeds Carnegie, before eventually joining Leicester at the age of 16 and subsequently signed professional forms with them. He played for England Under 18s at just 15 years of age.

In December 2009, he was nominated for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year. In October 2011, he became the first Englishman to win the title of IRB Junior Player of the Year, and also became the youngest-ever winner of the award.
