Georges Jean-Aubry (also Gérard Jean-Aubry, or G Jean-Aubry) was the pen-name of Jean-Frédéric-Emile Aubry (1882-1950), a French music critic and translator. He was a friend, translator and biographer of Joseph Conrad.
Born in Le Havre, Aubry was a friend of several composers, including Debussy and Ravel. In 1918 he met and befriended Conrad. From 1919 to 1930 he lived in London, editing a magazine published by a musical instrument-making firm, The Chesterian. In the 1930s he returned to France.
