Sir George Tressady is a novel by Mary Augusta Ward. Originally published as a serial from 1895 to 1896, ^[1] it was Ward's seventh novel.

This is the book that Miss Adeline Glendower, the elder of the Glendower half-sisters, has chosen for her seaside reading ^[2] in The Sea Lady, a social satire by H. G. Wells.
