George Spenton-Foster (11 November 1926 – 26 December 1993) was a British television director and television producer.

After producing a few anthology series in his homeland like Thirty-Minute Theatre, he went to Australia in 1970 to produce a short-lived police series The Link Men. For the BBC, Spenton-Foster directed two Doctor Who stories: Image of the Fendahl (1977) and The Ribos Operation (1978). He also directed four Blake's 7 episodes from its second series in 1979: "Weapon", "Pressure Point", "Voice from the Past" and "Gambit".

In late 1982, Spenton-Foster left the Liverpool-based soap opera Brookside four days before it aired because of a disagreement over bad language in the dialogue.
