George Sargent (1859–1921) was an Australian businessman. George and his wife Charlotte Sargent (née Foster) (1856–1924) were both pastry cooks and caterers. Together with their son Foster Sargent, they founded Sargent's meat pies company in 1906. They started selling pies for a penny in a small shop in Paddington, New South Wales in 1891. In 1913, Sargents were producing 150,000 pies per week at their factory in Burton Street, Darlinghurst.
