George Carmont (born 30 June 1978 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a retired professional rugby league footballer. Carmont represented Samoa and played for the Newcastle Knights and the Wigan Warriors. He primarily played at centre.
Carmont was educated at De La Salle College, Mangere East.
Carmont's junior club was the Otahuhu Leopards in the Auckland Rugby League competition.
Carmont made his professional rugby league debut for the Newcastle Knights, against the Melbourne Storm on 11 March 2004. He appeared in 83 games and scored 33 tries along with becoming a popular player with the fans.
The Samoan captain was expected to join either Harlequins RL or Wigan for the 2008 season, with the latter seen as the more likely destination after the London side seemingly agreed a deal to sign David Vaealiki before the centre was confirmed as a new signing for Manly. On 27 November 2007, it was announced that Carmont had signed a two-year deal with European Super League club Wigan Warriors. Carmont was named in the Super League Dream Team for 2008's Super League XIII.
Carmont was selected in the Samoa squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. He appeared in three matches for Samoa and scored two tries. He is eligible for the United States national rugby league team through his American Samoan heritage.
