George Darling is a character in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan and its various film and stage adaptations.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

He is the husband of Mary Darling and the father of Wendy, Michael, and John. He is also a bank/office worker, and can be quite loud and boisterous. He seeks to attract attention, from his co-workers to his wife and children. However, deep inside, he is actually a kind-hearted person that just wants what's best for his family, especially his kids. In the Disney variant, he believes the stories (told by his daughter in this version and not by his wife) to be a "lot of silly stories" and "poppycock", though he could be stressing from finding out that he might lose his job.

In the Disney adaptation of the story, he modeled after and voiced by Hans Conried, who is also the model and voice for the villainous Captain Hook.
