Come On George! is a 1939 British comedy film by Anthony Kimmins and starring George Formby, Pat Kirkwood and Joss Ambler. It was produced by Associated Talking Pictures. Hal Erickson wrote in Allmovie, "Come on George! was a product of George Formby's peak movie years." It concerns the world of horse racing, and Formby, who had once been a stable apprentice, did his own riding in the film. Songs featured are "I'm Making Headway Now", "I Couldn't Let The Stable Down", "Pardon Me", and "Goodnight Little Fellow, Goodnight."

This farce stars comedian George Formby, who plays George, a stable boy. He also has the unique ability to soothe an anxious racing horse. Expectedly, George races the horse and wins.

A young Dirk Bogarde makes an uncredited appearance as an extra.
