George Washington Hardy Jr. (January 15, 1900 – July 15, 1967) was a lawyer from Shreveport, Louisiana, who served as mayor from 1932 to 1934 and as a judge of the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal from 1943 until his death in office.
Hardy was born in Corsicana in Navarro County southeast of Dallas, Texas, to George Hardy Sr. (1859–1947) and the former Llewella "Lula" Garlick (1866–1937). He moved to Shreveport when he was seven years of age. Hardy graduated in 1917 from the former Shreveport High School. He thereafter attended Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, from which he graduated in 1920 after a hiatus for service in the United States Army during World War I. He studied for two years at Louisiana State University Law Center in the capital city of Baton Rouge and was admitted in 1922 to the Louisiana Bar Association. He was chairman of the Edward Douglass White Memorial Commission.
Hardy and his wife, the former Mary Eleanor Holbrook (born c. 1902), had two sons, John Holbrook Hardy (born 1928), of Shreveport and George W. Hardy, III (born 1932), of Baton Rouge. He had a sister, Greenwood Hardy Brinkmann (1892–1986), the wife of Francis Charles Brinkmann Jr. (1890–1967), of Shreveport. One of Judge Hardy's nephews, Charles Brinkmann Peatross, was a Shreveport city attorney and city council member who like his uncle later served on the circuit court of appeal.
