George Ross (born 15 April 1943) in Inverness, is a Scottish former footballer who played as a Full back in the Football League during the 1960s and 1970s, most notably with Preston North End. Surprisingly, Ross never started his senior professional football career with any of the three Highland Football League Clubs in Inverness at that time, and went south to Preston as a schoolboy.

He started with Preston as a junior and after making his debut for them in the early 1960s he went on to play 386 league games for them. This included a place in the 1964 FA Cup Final team.

In the early 1970s he left to join Southport and played 31 league games for them in Football League Division Four.

As of April 2009 he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award by Preston, and he still works for them in the commercial department on matchdays.
