Georges Berger (born 14 September 1918 in Molenbeek Saint-Jean, near Brussels, Belgium; dead 23 August 1967) was a Formula One driver who raced for the Simca-Gordini and Gordini teams. He initially competed during the 1950s in a Formula 2 BMW-engined Jicey with which he finished third in the Grand Prix des Frontieres at Chimay. In 1953 he raced for the Simca-Gordini team and finished fifth in the same track. He entered the same car in the Belgian GP but retired after only three laps. The following year he raced a Gordini with nothing more than a fourth position at Rouen. He eventually disappeared from single-seater racing. Later in his carer he shared the winning Ferrari at the 1960 Tour de France. He was killed racing a Porsche 911 in the 1967 Marathon de la Route at Nurburgring.
