George Fermor, 2nd Earl of Pomfret (1722-1785) of Easton Neston house, Northamptonshire was Earl of Pomfret in the Peerage of Great Britain.

Easton Neston House, Northamptonshire

He was the eldest son of Thomas Fermor, 1st Earl of Pomfret and Henrietta Louisa Jeffreys. He succeeded to the title on his father's death in 1753, but lived so extravagantly that he had to sell the furnishings of his seat at Easton Neston, including his sculptures, previously part of the Arundel marbles and later bought by George's grandfather Baron Leominster. George's mother bought the sculptures from him and presented them to the University of Oxford[1].

In 1763, he became Gentleman of the Bedchamber and in 1771 he was made a privy counsellor.
