Georgina Worsley (born 28 November 1895), is a fictional character in the British television series, Upstairs, Downstairs . She was portrayed by Lesley-Anne Down. She married the Marquess of Stockbridge in the final episode of the series, thus becoming the Marchioness of Stockbridge and future Duchess of Buckminster.

Georgina Worsley arrives to live at Eaton Place in 1913. She is the step-daughter of Lady Marjorie's brother Hugo Talbot-Carey (the new Earl of Southwold). His new wife is the widow Marion Worsely, and mother of Georgina by her previous marriage. Georgina's natural father died in a hunting accident when she was six years old. Her mother and step-father die along with Lady Marjorie in the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. After that she moves into 165 Eaton Place right before Christmas in December 1913.

She spends the war years serving in France as a VAD Nurse, where her patients include her step-cousin James. During the 1920s, she joins the ranks of young people known as the "Bright Young Things"—silly, giddy, empty-headed types—but changes her ways after she accidentally runs over and kills a Penfold Farm cowherder. In danger of being charged with murder or manslaughter, she is saved by the testimony of the young Marquess of Stockbridge, Robert, son and heir of the Duke of Buckminster. She and Robert marry on 12 June 1930.
