InfoGeorge Seawright was a controversial Unionist politician in Northern Ireland who was assassinated by the Irish People's Liberation Organisation (IPLO) during the Troubles.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland from a Northern Irish Protestant background, Seawright worked in the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast until entering politics as a member of the Democratic Unionist Party.

Seawright was noted for his fiery rhetoric and was elected to Belfast City Council in 1981 and soon developed a following amongst loyalists. The following year he was elected as the DUP candidate to the Northern Ireland Assembly.
