George Danzer (born 17 July 1983 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a German professional poker player, based in Salzburg, Austria who is a four-time World Series of Poker bracelets winner, winning the inaugural $10,000 Seven Card Razz Championship and then the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud High-Low Championship at the 2014 World Series of Poker. He won his third bracelet winning the $5,000 Mixed Event 8-Game event at the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia Pacific. His total live tournament winnings exceed $1.9 million

In his youth he excelled at Chess and played the World Youth Championship for Portugal as the sub 10 Portuguese Champion.

In May 2006, he finished 3rd at the Worlds Heads Up Championship in Barcelona.

At the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, he became known as the player who is seen receiving a series of bad beats at the Main Event, which resulted in increasing the stack of the then chip leader Dmitri Nobles. During the ESPN broadcast Danzer is seen leaving the table to steam off, only to return and congratulate his opponent.

He made the final table at the 2007 World Series of Poker in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better event outlasting 678 players in his ninth-place finish.

At the 2010 World Series of Poker, Danzer finished 3rd in the $10,000 2–7 Draw Lowball Championship in a field of 101 players for $115,295 behind runner-up Eric Cloutier and the winner David "Bakes" Baker.
