George Robert Ackworth Conquest, CMG, OBE (* 15. Juli 1917 in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England; † 3. August 2015 in Palo Alto, Kalifornien) war ein britischer Dichter und Historiker. Er war seit 1980 als Politologe in konservativen Institutionen tätig. Conquest wurde in England als traditionalistischer Dichter und Science-Fiction-Autor bekannt. Conquest gilt als einer der wichtigsten westlichen Historiker mit Werken über die Stalinzeit. Seine Bücher Der Große Terror und Die Ernte des Todes sind laut The New York Times „maßgebliche Standardwerke“ über die Verbrechen des Stalinismus.
