James Thomas George (1918 – 1975) was an English international rugby union player.
Raised in Falmouth, Cornwall, George was a tireless lock who was a latecomer to rugby, switching from football in his late 20s to play for the Falmouth RFC. He toured with the Barbarians in 1947. Capped three times for England, Vaughan featured in their 1947 and 1949 Five Nations campaigns, with injuries depriving him of further opportunities.
George worked as a fitter at Falmouth docks and was also a chicken farmer.
