George Jordan (1620-1679) was an English attorney who also became a planter and politician in the Colony of Virginia. He twice served as the colony's attorney general (before and after Bacon's Rebellion) and at various times represented James City County (before the creation of Surry County for land on the south bank of the James River) and Surry County in the House of Burgesses, and may have served on the Virginia Governor's Council.
