George from the kindred Baksa (Hungarian: Baksa nembeli György; died after 1307) was a Hungarian lord and a distinguished military leader in the second half of the 13th century. He was a key supporter of Ladislaus IV of Hungary and participated in various military campaigns during his reign. He successfully fought against the Mongols in Hungary and Poland. After granting large-scale domains in Upper Hungary, he was also known as George of Sóvár or George the Salty (Hungarian: Sóvári "Sós" György, Polish: Jerzy z Sovaru) and became eponymous progenitor of the Sós (or Soós) de Sóvár noble family.
