Anthony Conrad George (born January 7, 1938) is a Grenadian artist known for being the designer of the Grenadian National Flag. He resides in both London, England, and in mainland Grenada, where he grew up from the age of 10.

A prolific artist, in 1973 George entered a national design contest preparing for the Independence of Grenada in 1974. The contest allowed entrants to submit designs for a new National Flag and Coat of Arms with Motto, George won both competitions.

However, he was not to receive full recognition for his designs until some 30 years later.

Anthony C. George was born the second of five children of Florence Stiell and John Soloman George in L'Esterre, Carriacou, a small Island just off the coast of Grenada.

He attended his aunt's private school up to the age of 10, then he moved with his parents to mainland Grenada in 1948 to continue his education at the St. Andrew's Roman Catholic school. In 1959, he migrated in pursuit of higher education to England, where he attended various colleges and polytechnic institutions. After his graduation in education, fine and commercial arts he returned to Grenada in 1969 where he taught at St. Joseph's Convent and other schools in St. George's, as well as Paraclete Government School in the parish.

In September 1973, he was assigned to the Independence Secretariat to serve on four committees in preparation for the forthcoming Independence of Grenada in 1974.

1991 saw George serving Grenada as senior sales representative for the UK and Europe.

In 1992, he served as executive manager with the Ministry of Works, on the Eastern Main Road Project, funded by the European Union. In Grenada, he dedicated his time to serving the community through various charitable organizations; including The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and The Rotary Club. He also served on every committee of The St. Andrew's Development Organization (SADO).

In 2009 Mrs. Patricia Antoine-Clyne, Accountant General in the Ministry of Finance, and the Chairperson of The Grenada Postal Corporation, arranged for commemorative stamps to be made in George's honour in time for the 35th celebrations of Grenada's Independence.
