George Robert Ackworth Conquest (Malvern, 15 de julho de 1917 – Stanford, 3 de agosto de 2015) foi um proeminente historiador britânico e agente do Information Research Department (IRD), um departamento secreto do Reino Unido na Guerra Fria que produziu falsidades contra grupos de esquerda. Filho de pai estadunidense e mãe inglesa, é um especialista da história da União Soviética, celebrizado com a publicação de O Grande Terror (The Great Terror, 1968), sobre as purgas realizadas sob Stalin na década de 1930, e de Colheita de Amargura (The Harvest of Sorrow, 1986), sobre a política de colectivização da agricultura, nos anos 1929-1931, que segundo ele foi a causa de milhões de vítimas entre os camponeses soviéticos por fome.
