Count György László Festetics de Tolna (23 April 1815 – 12 February 1883) was a Hungarian politician, who served as Minister besides the King between 1867 and 1871.

He was the offspring from the Hungarian noble House of Festetics. His father was Count Festetics László [hu] (1785–1846), and his mother was Princess Josefine of Hohenzollern-Hechingen (1790-1856).^[1] His paternal grandfather was count György Festetics de Tolna (1755-1819), who founded the prestigious agricultural college Georgikon, the first of its kind in Europe, that operated in the Festetics Palace in Keszthely.
